The associate professor was caught on tape after a reporter with the British Broadcasting Corporationposed as a prospective student of UNILAG.
invitation, he asked for her age and she said 17.
He subsequently complimented her looks, saying she was beautiful.
“Do you know that I am a pastor and I’m in my 50s? What will shock you is that even at my age now, if I want a girl of your age – a 17-year-old, all I need is to sweet-tongue her and put some money in her hands and I’ll get her,” he said.
Igbeneghu later prayed with the ‘admission seeker’, while leading her into the ‘kingdom of God.’
In the 13-minute clip, he told her about a ‘cold room’ at the UNILAG Senior Staff Club, where he said lecturers usually slept with female students to give them undeserved marks.
