“It is disappointing that the BBC showed gross disrespect to our Clients and the University by refusing to make themselves available to be cross-examined in the whole process thereby undermining the integrity of the entire administrative proceedings.
It is also unfortunate, that the University’s release did not make it clear that the allegations of BBC were false and had no basis,” the response issued by lead counsel Francis-Xavier Sosu said.
The punishment which was expected to take effect from January 1, 2020, recommended that an annual assessment for 5 years in be carried out in that regard.
They, however, gave word of accepting and respecting the decision and would not pursue it any further in court.
