THE Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions has again summoned the management of the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, over alleged victimisation, extortion and criminal breach of duty.

Also summoned are two lecturers of the institution, Williams Akionbare and C. Onanuju.

They are to appear for the public hearing on a petition written by the law chamber of M.A. Ogbodogbo on behalf of a student of FUTO, Mr Brain Otobha.

In a letter of invitation addressed to Ogbodogbo, the Clerk of the Committee, Freedom Osolo, recalled that the last time the committee sat over the issue on July 13, 2021, it was resolved that the hearing be extended to enable the respondents appear.

Osolo stated that the parties would now appear for the public hearing on Tuesday, 12, October 2021 at Room 120, New Senate Building of the National Assembly Complex, Abuja by 1:00pm.

The petitioner, (Otobha), a student of Project Management Technology Department with Registration Number 20091700346, is accusing his lecturers of stalling his graduation since 2014 by deliberately failing him in some of the examinations he sat for.

Otobha, who hails from Emede in Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State, alleged that he was being punished for refusing to yield to financial request by his course teachers.

He, however, appealed to the new Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Nnenna Oti, to look into the facts of the matter, and facilitate his graduation from the university.
