UNILAG To Investigate Alleged Sex Scandal
The management of University of Lagos (UNILAG) on Thursday said full scale investigation will be carried out into the allegation of sexual harassment involving a lecturer and student in the University of Lagos.
The institution stated this in a statement issued by the Communication and Corporate Affairs Directorate of the institution and signed by Mr. Taiwo Oloyede.
“The Management has a zero tolerance for allegations pertaining to sexual impropriety, and has a well-established policy against such practices.
“We wish to reassure all our stakeholders, students, parents, members of staff and the general public that Management will not treat this matter with levity. Management will tackle the allegation with every sense of responsibility and seriousness that the matter deserves. The issue would be thoroughly investigated with transparency”, it said.
It was alleged that a Professor in the department of English, faculty of Arts, harassed a female student.
The report being circulated in the social media said the student (name withheld) managed to get nude photos of her molester in one of their ‘encounters.’
The student had alleged that, “Whenever students go to his office for anything he is always trying to touch you. I took pictures of him on one of those days I entered his office. He has made molestation a part of him. I am even scared for my life in UNILAG. That’s why I am reaching out to you so he can be stopped.
She went on to add that; ‘’He is a professor in the English department, Faculty of Arts. I am not his first victim.
‘’He does this all the time to students. I have completely given up when it comes to academics he has failed me on tests before. When I talked to him concerning it he told me I should know what to do, I am an adult. I feel so dirty for even allowing such an old man touch me. But he doesn’t even care.
“As long as you satisfy his wants. I am tired of everything. He should be stopped before he ruins the lives of other innocent girls in that English department. When he touches me I am always in tears but it doesn’t stop him. Please this is why I am reaching out all I want is for him to be stopped. He is destroying the mental state of girls in UNILAG.
“I just want him stopped. I reached out because I don’t want him to continue molesting girls. The English department is like a cult. The lecturers have information amongst themselves. They talk about the girls they have slept with and the ones they plan to sleep with. It has been going on for years.”
