The Vice Chancellor of the Federal University, Oye Ekiti, Professor Abayomi Fasina has suspended the Chapter  Chairman of the Senior Staff Association Of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, Comrade Benjamin Faleye and the Secretary, Comrade Ayomikun Aluko for opposing his activities in the Institution by signing a communique issued at the end of the Union Congress held on the campus few weeks ago, precisely on the 25th November, 2024.

Before the suspension letters were issued to the two SSANU Union leaders through the Institution’s Registrar, Mr Mufutau Ibrahim, SSANU had accused FUOYE VC, Prof Abayomi Sunday Fasina, of sexually harassing and victimizing the university’s staff members.

They alleged that there was audio evidence of the VC begging some married women who are senior staff of the University for sex.

The Vice Chancellor had also earlier denied the allegations. He was also reported to have been cleared by a police investigation.

The suspension letter read in part, “Your written representation dated 6″ December, 2024 has been reviewed by the University and it was found unsatisfactory and inadequate to exculpate you from the acts of misconduct identified in the query under reference.
