C-Poly lecturer feels threatened

The Ghanaian Times reports that Mr Tommy Madichie, the lecturer who revealed the sex scandal at the Cape coast polytechnic in the Central Region, as saying that "he will not give in" even though he is under threat to resign his position for exposing wrong-doing at the Polytechnic.

Mr Madichie told newsmen that "I am being threatened by the Polytechnic authorities to quickly resign honourably before they get my appointment terminated through the disciplinary board".

The lecturer, who is a principal instructor and head of the Building and Civil Engineering Department of the Polytechnic, alleged that a letter to that effect had been pasted on the school?s notice board.

He is said to have claimed that the letter was written and placed on the notice board, on behalf of the Polytechnic authorities, by the Dean of the School of Engineering. The action, he said was intended to disrupt school activities and incite the students against him and causes mayhem on the campus.
