ESUT Suspends Two Engineering Lecturers Over Alleged Extortion

Enugu State University of Science and Technology has suspended two staff members in its Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department over alleged extortion and breaches of university regulations. Dr Collins Ojeh was suspended indefinitely without pay from July 20, 2026, while Mr Emmanuel Eze was suspended pending further investigation by the institution’s Senior Staff Disciplinary Committee. Both were directed to hand over university property to the department. The action followed recommendations from an investigative committee. The university also cautioned the acting Head of Department, Dr Princewill Ene, over inadequate monitoring, warning that further related reports could attract stronger sanctions.
