A Political Science lecturer at the University of Ghana (UG), Professor Ransford Gyampo has threatened to initiate a legal action against the BBC over its “S3x for grades” documentary which mentions him [Gyampo] as one of the lecturers who offer grades to students in exchange for s3x.
In a radio interview with Accra based Citi FM on Monday, Professor Gyampo denied abusing his power to make sexual advances towards students
Professor Gyampo was allegedly implicated in the “s3x for grades” investigations carried out by BBC Africa Eye.
“I didn’t see anything like that [in the video] and I have not done anything like that,” he said in the radio interview with a Citi FM.
Professor Gyampo, who is also the Head of European Studies at the university, according to the BBC report allegedly requested to marry one of the BBC reporters who posed as a student seeking academic favours.
In excerpts of the video released on BBC Somalia’s Facebook page, Professor Gyampo persuaded the reporter to meet him at the mall where he was caught on camera making “numerous [alleged] inappropriate demands.”
In the report, he also allegedly requested to kiss the reporter.
Professor told Citi FM that the video was aimed at tarnishing his image.
