Professor suspension at Nnamdi Azikiwe University

Overview

Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) suspended Professor Ifeanyi Sunny Odinye of the Department of Chinese Studies for three months at half salary. The disciplinary action followed an investigation by a six-man special panel regarding the handling of an examination misconduct case involving a student.

The panel found that Odinye violated university regulations by failing to properly document the incident and improperly returning a recovered mobile phone to the student. This disciplinary measure follows a viral video depicting the professor being physically assaulted and stripped by students on campus. While the university has addressed the academic misconduct, it has deferred final decisions regarding separate allegations of sexual harassment and kidnapping, pending further investigation.
