On Friday, May 10, a senior lecturer at the Federal University Lokoja (FUL) in Kogi state was stripped nearly naked following charges of aggressive sexual advancement against a female student.
The lecturer, whose full name was unknown at the time of filing this report, was said to have incurred the wrath of some other female undergraduates in the English Department, where he teaches, when they learned of his latest ‘escapade’ and demanded that he be publicly ‘disgraced’, claiming that ‘his cup was full’.
The instructor, who was stripped to his boxers, was protected from further molestation thanks to the united efforts of the school security unit at the institution’s Adankolo micro campus.
During the interrogation, the lecturer implicated his colleagues, including the Head of the Department (HOD), claiming that they usually provide him with names of female students to either “pass or fail” based on their level of intimacy or absence with them.
When contacted, the school’s spokesperson, Daniel Iyke, said that the management was already aware of the development and had immediately set up machinery to investigate the case.
According to him: “The thing is that the university has its own internal mechanism in taking care of it.
“The report has been brought to the attention of the vice-chancellor, and he has set up a body to look into it. This was done immediately and the report or outcome will be made known as soon as it comes out. At this point, this is all I can volunteer.”
