Boniface is also the head pastor at Foursquare Gospel Church in Lagos.
However, the Foursquare Gospel Church has asked Dr Boniface Igbeneghu to step down from all ministerial assignments.
The church said in a statement it does not condone sexual misconduct and has distanced itself from Dr Igbeneghu’s alleged behaviour.
The University of Lagos in Nigeria says it has also suspended Boniface.
