Following a British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC Africa Eye)video that indicted Dr Boniface Igheneghu of the Faculty of Arts, University of Lagos, the Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria has directed him to step down from his position as a local pastor of the church.
The church said Igbeneghu should step down from all “ministerial assignments” after a video of his sexual assault on an undercover journalist who posed as a 17-year-old admission seeker went viral.

The statement read: “The attention of the leadership of The Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria has been drawn to a video clip trending on social media platforms titled ‘Sex for grades: Undercover in West Africa Universities – BBC News’ wherein a lecturer in University of Lagos named Dr. Boniface Igbeneghu also described as a pastor in Foursquare Gospel Church was allegedly involved in sexual misconduct with some female students of the University.
“The general public is hereby informed that as a holiness and Bible-believing Church, we do not condone such heinous and unscriptural act among our ministers. We totally dissociate ourselves from the purported conduct of Dr. Igbeneghu and promise to take appropriate measure as soon as the ongoing investigation is concluded.
“Meanwhile, the pastor in question has been asked to step down from all ministerial assignments.”
