The development also appears to validate an earlier clarification by Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Awka, which denied social media claims that those involved in the incident were members of its staff and student population.

Paul University, Awka, has suspended an academic support staff member, Ven. Cornelius C. Eze, an Anglican priest, over allegations of sexual misconduct involving a student.

The development also appears to validate an earlier clarification by Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Awka, which denied social media claims that those involved in the incident were members of its staff and student population.

UNIZIK, in a statement issued through its Public Relations Department, had stated that neither the staff member nor the student linked to the incident was affiliated with the institution.

Paul University, however, confirmed that the accused staff member is one of its employees and announced that both an internal disciplinary process and a police investigation are underway.
