Lecturer known as I.G.
Yusuf, was disgraced after he was caught naked in his student’s apartment. The lecturer
teaches in the English Department, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida University,
Lapai, Niger.
The fiancé of the 400-level
student and his friend, who caught Yusuf while he was allegedly prepared to
have sex with her, made him to mop the living room, wash the toilet, and took
his nude pictures, which had gone viral.
The lecturer had reportedly
insisted on sleeping with the student so she could pass ENG 201 titled,
“History of English Language in Nigeria”.
PUNCH Metro gathered that
the final year student, who had failed the course consecutively, became
frustrated and feared the lecturer could fail her again, thereby extending her
year of study.
She was said to have told
her fiancé about the problem she was having with the lecturer and a plan was
made to end the lecturer’s harassment.
“ENG 201 is taken in the
first semester and exams will soon commence. Last Wednesday, the fiancé and his
friend went to Mercy’s residence outside the campus. The lecturer was bent on
having sex with her before she could pass the course.
“They told her to invite
Mr. Yusuf to come and do what he was demanding while they hid in the toilet. As
the lecturer removed his clothes to sleep with her, they came out of the
toilet. They gave him a mop to clean the toilet and the living room,” one of
the students, who did not want his name in print, told our correspondent.
Another student said the
lecturer had been accused of sexually harassing female students.
“But there was no evidence
to nail him until now. The department is aware of the incident and it has been
taken up by the school management. According to information, he will face a
panel on Monday (today) or Tuesday,” he added.
An alumnus of the
university, who finished from the department, told PUNCH Metro that he had
advised the lecturer to get married.
“He is about 50-year-old
and currently studying for his PhD. I had advised him to stop chasing female
students and start his own family. This is a big shame and a lifetime
embarrassment,” the ex-student added.
The management, on the
institution’s website, confirmed that a committee had been set up to
investigate the case and promised to do justice to the case.
The statement read,
“The university management
is aware of the recent unfortunate incident between a male lecturer and a
female student. In view of this, the management has set up a committee to
investigate the immediate and remote cause(s) of the incident. The committee is
headed by the deputy vice-chancellor and involves all stakeholders in the
matter.
“Accordingly, all parties
involved are hereby advised to exercise restraint. The university community and
the general public are assured of the management’s resolve to take appropriate
disciplinary action against any party found guilty.”
However, the lecturer
denied the allegation that he attempted to have sex with the student. He stated
that she connived with some men to kidnap him on his way home around 10pm on
Tuesday, adding that he was forced to remove his clothes.
He said, “There was a test
conducted by a fellow lecturer on Tuesday for 400-level students. I don’t take
any course at that level. They had to be split into two and the lecturer
invited me to assist him to administer the test. Towards the end of the test, I
noticed there was a boy sitting in front of the girl. He raised his paper up
for the girl to copy.
“I saw them and warned the
boy. He just smiled instead of him to obey my warning and continued. I asked to
forward his paper if he had finished and he reluctantly forwarded it to me. The
rule of test is that if you are found cheating, we will tear your paper. I
wrote on his paper ‘found cheating’. I tore the paper and threw it into a
dustbin.
“Later in the evening, I
began to receive calls from this girl, asking me to see her. She said the boy
whose paper I tore had not let her have peace and that he wanted to see me so
that the lecturer could consider him for a make-up (test). I told her she
should let us meet the next day.
“On my way home, as I
reached a junction leading to her house, I saw her standing by the roadside
with some men. As soon as she entered my car, the men also entered from behind
and pressed a metal on my back. So, I drove until they got to the house.
“As soon as I got into the
room, they removed my clothes and poured water on me. They demanded N2m ransom
from me. I have been traumatised. Presently, I have been suspended and will
appear before a panel on Monday (today).”
Yusuf explained further
that she had never taught the student ENG 201, saying that she “actually failed
two courses he taught her in 300-level.”
“She passed four courses I
had taught her in 100 and 200 levels,” he added.
THIS TREND MUST CONTINUE NO BI TODAY GOODDDDDDDDDDDDDD
