Some lecturers from the University of Ghana (UG) and the University of Lagos (Unilag) were captured allegedly seeking sexual favours from prospective students in exchange for good grades.
Prof. Ransford Gyampo and Dr. Paul Kwame Butakor of UG were both implicated in the documentary and have since been suspended.
Nigerian lecturer Dr. Boniface Igbenehue was also immediately suspended by the University of Lagos after the documentary premiered.
Kiki received rave reviews from the African public for putting herself on the line to expose the menace of sex for grades in universities.
