Two lecturers in the Department of Chemistry, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Dr. Titilayo Bamgbose, and Mr. Adesina Bamigbade, sacked for alleged plagiarism, have dragged the university before the National Industrial Court to challenge their dismissal.
They denied committing the offence, stating that the composition of the investigation panel that looked into their cases was faulty and against the university laws. They added that the plagiarism checker the disciplinary committee claimed to have used on their paper was "wrongfully and inppropriately applied by an untrained officer".
They are asking the court for reinstatement without loss of seniority, priviledges, entitlement and other benefits. They also want FUNAAB to pay them each N10m as damages for wrongful termination and an additional N5m, representing the cost of the suit.
