Lagos, Nigeria (CNN) Nigerian professor Richard Akindele, accused of demanding sex from a female student, was sentenced to prison on Monday. Akindele was convicted after pleading guilty to four criminal charges, including demanding gratification from a student and sexual coercion of a student, according to court documents seen by CNN. Akindele had pleaded not guilty to the charges in earlier court appearances at the Federal High Court in Osogbo, southwest Nigeria. However, he changed his plea during his third appearance in court on Monday. Osagie, 23, was not in court on Monday but her lawyers told CNN she consented to a plea bargain made by Akindele, a requirement under Nigerian law.
