 More than 100,000 children have been displaced by the latest escalation in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, UNICEF said on Sunday, warning the numbers are expected to rise as violence spreads. Since Dec. 1, intense fighting has uprooted more than 500,000 people, with children accounting for over 100,000 of those displaced in South Kivu alone, the UN agency said in a statement released Sunday. It said since Dec. 2, hundreds have been killed in the fighting, and children have been among the victims, with four students killed, six injured, and at least seven schools attacked or damaged. The rapid escalation has forced hundreds of thousands of children and families to flee within Congo and into neighboring Burundi and Rwanda, it added. Many people fleeing the violence have crossed into Burundi, with over 50,000 new arrivals reported between Dec. 6 and 11, nearly half of them children, UNICEF said, adding that the numbers are expected to rise as more displaced are identified. “Chi...

 FUOYE Re-Marks Exam Papers of Student Failed By Lecturer Over Sex-for-Grade Scandal, Secures Justice


The Federal University, Oye Ekiti, Ekiti State, has cleared a female student, Ramota Olahanloye, to graduate following the remarking of her final-year examination scripts.

Olahanloye had alleged that a lecturer, Dr.

Anthony Agbegbedia, demanded sexual favours from her, and when she declined, he deliberately failed her in two final-year courses.


In a statement issued on Friday by the Special Adviser on Media to the Vice-Chancellor, Dr.

Wole Balogun, the university confirmed that Olahanloye's allegations were investigated, and her scripts were re-marked.

"The young lady's scripts were re-marked, and she performed fairly better than the scores initially awarded by Dr. Anthony Agbegbedia," the statement read.

According to Balogun, the university management approved Olahanloye's revised results, which qualified her for graduation.

"The university management has given executive approval for her results to be processed. She has since commenced her final clearance from relevant units of the university,"

the statement added.

Balogun also disclosed that Agbegbedia had been sanctioned by the institution for his misconduct.

Olahanloye expressed her joy over the resolution of the case, saying, "I am happy that I have gotten justice, and I really appreciate the university Vice-Chancellor for setting up the committee that investigated the matter.

"I was shown my entire results, including the graduation list with my name on it. I have started my clearance as a graduating student of the university, and I am truly happy."

Her father, Rasaki Olahanloye, also lauded the university for its commitment to justice.

"I can confirm to the world that FUOYE has served justice to my daughter. I was shown her

upgraded results after her scripts were re-marked, and it is clear that she passed.

"The university fulfilled its promise to ensure fairness, and I appreciate the VC, Prof. Sunday Fasina, and the committee members for ensuring my daughter gets justice," he said.
