\u201cA panel will be set up to investigate the issue\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Also on Monday, Ikechukwu Ugbaja, the National Secretary of the Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria made a statement to announce Igbeneghu\u2019s suspension saying appropriate measures would be taken on the matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe general public is hereby informed that as holiness and Bible-believing church, we do not condone such heinous and unscriptural acts among our ministers, we totally dissociate ourselves from the purported conduct of Dr. Igbeneghu and promise to take appropriate measures as soon as the ongoing investigation is concluded. Meanwhile, the pastor in question has been asked to step-down from all ministerial assignments,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Igbeneghu was exposed in a video on BBC Africa Eye making amorous advance on an undercover journalist, disguised as a 17-year-old admission seeker offering her wine and asked her to switch off the light in the room so that he could kiss her. According to Naij.com<\/em>, the young lady refused and Igbeneghu stood up to switch off the light himself before going back on the sofa they both seated to pull her close to himself.<\/p>\n

As the video went viral, reactions rose from all across the country calling for a quick action by the government to eradicate sexual harassment in higher institutions in the country to make students safe in institutions across the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
