Seun Kuti, Nigerian Afrobeat singer, has called out the Academic Staff Union of Universities and Adamu Adamu, the minister of education, for keeping mum on the #SexForGrades scandals.
On Monday, BBC Africa Eye released a 53-minute documentary which exposed how Boniface Igbeneghu, the head pastor of a Foursquare Gospel Church and lecturer at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), requested sex from female students in exchange for high grade.
Ever since, heated criticisms have trailed the scandals as many former students also recounted similar experience during their university days.
Joining the fray, Kuti took to Twitter to tackle Adamu and ASUU for not addressing the public after the documentary was released.
