The University of Ghana has suspended two of its lecturers after completing investigations into the BBC’s Sex for Grades documentary.
Prof. Ransford Gyampo and Dr. Paul Butakor have been handed six and four months suspension without pay respectively.
The suspensions take effect from January 1, 2020. Prof. Gyampo and Dr. Butakor were cited in a BBC documentary titled: “Sex for Grades, Undercover in West African Universities.”
The BBC said it targeted the two lecturers for its investigations after receiving lots of complaints about sexual misconduct about them.
In the documentary, the lecturers are seen propositioning undercover reporters who posed as students or ex-students in need of some help.
Prof. Gyampo denied the allegations of Sex for Grades and threatened to sue the BBC.
Dr. Boniface Igbeneghu, a lecturer at the University of Lagos, who was also cited in the documentary has been suspended as well.
