The management of Kogi State Polytechnic, Lokoja, has suspended six lecturers over allegations of unauthorised sale of handouts and textbooks, while another lecturer has been suspended over alleged sexual harassment as the institution investigates claims of sex-for-marks, cultism and other acts of misconduct.
The institution’s spokesperson, John Onimisi, disclosed this in a statement issued on Sunday in Lokoja.
“Six lecturers on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, were suspended by the management of the institution for the unauthorised sale of handouts and textbooks, while a lecturer was also suspended for alleged sexual harassment”, the statement partly read.
The development comes amid growing concerns over alleged cases of sexual harassment, cult-related activities and other forms of indiscipline within the institution.
Sources within the polytechnic alleged that some lecturers had been demanding sexual favours or money from female students in exchange for passing grades, while cult activities had also resurfaced on campus.
