On Friday, May 10, a senior lecturer at the Federal University Lokoja (FUL) in Kogi State faced unexpected repercussions when he was publicly stripped near n*ked over allegations of making forceful s*xual advances towards a female student.
The lecturer whose full name
was yet to be ascertained as at the time of filing this report was said to have
incurred the wrath of some other female undergraduates of the English
Department, where he teaches, when they got wind of his latest ‘escapede’ as
they insisted he must be publicly ‘disgraced’, claiming that ‘his cup was
full’.
The lecturer who was stripped
to his boxers was however saved from further molestation by the combined
efforts of the school security unit, at the Adankolo mini campus of the
institution.
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.”
Efforts to speak with the
female victim or her father, who is reportedly a police officer, proved
unsuccessful as they were shielded from interacting with our correspondent.
