IMSU's spokesperson, Ralph Obinjoku who reacted to the video said the Professor is currently being probed by the management of the institution. PUNCH also reported that he said the institution prohibits sex-for-mark and will therefore not take the matter for granted.

“We just rose from an expanded management meeting and I want to tell you that a committee has been set up to investigate the authenticity or otherwise of the nude video, which had one of our lecturers.

“The university is not taking the development for granted and the vice-chancellor has asked the committee to do a thorough job. Our university does not tolerate sex-for-mark or any act that lowers the excellent academic standard of our citadel of learning.”
