However, the panel did not disclose the identity of the lecturer in the said circular released by the institution in Benin on Saturday.
It urged members of staff and students with relevant information, or anybody that might have fallen victim of the lecturer’s escapades, to come forward and share with it.
According to the circular, the information will assist the committee in ensuring a thorough and fair investigation.
“Be assured that your identity will be protected and all information will be treated with utmost confidentiality,” it added.
