In a press release shared by famous Nigerian investigative journalist, Kiki Mordi, Dr. Igbeneghu was fired alongside Dr. Samuel Omoniyi Oladipo of the Department of Economics and Faculty of Social Sciences.

The release said the school considered the investigations and report of a senate committee set up to investigate the allegations of sexual harassment levelled against him.

The viral documentary caught on tape the UNILAG lecturer, Dr Boniface Igbenehue who doubled as a pastor at Foursquare Gospel Church asking for sexual favours from an undercover journalist who posed as a 17-year-old minor seeking admission in the school.

In October 2019, Dr Boniface Igbeneghu and Dr Samuel Oladipo were suspended by UNILAG pending the Senate investigations.
