One Dr. Kadiri a lecturer at the University of Lagos (UniLag), has been arrested for allegedly raping a 20-year-old female undergraduate student in his office.
This is coming on the heels of the numerous rape allegations against the recently suspended Prof. Cyril Osim Ndifon, former Dean Faculty of Law, University of Calabar.
According to the student who has requested to remain anonymous, the vile incident reportedly occurred on Wednesday, August 16, when she went to the lecturer’s office to iron out issues concerning her result.
However, the Police in Lagos has arrested the alleged randy don. The arrest warrant was issued by the Commissioner of Police, Idowu Owohunmi through the State High Court.
Rather than attend to the undergraduate’s result issues said a non-governmental organisation, Inclusive Social Welfare and Empowerment Foundation, where the victim reported the case, the lecturer allegedly raped her on August 16, 2023.
Confirming the incident, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin said, “He is to appear in court in the coming days.”
Also the UNILAG spokesperson, Adejoke Alaga-Ibraheem, confirmed that the university was aware of an investigation involving an employee of the university.
“UNILAG Management, on August 28, received a letter from the Nigeria Police Force, inviting an employee of the university for questioning. The employee was immediately informed of the development and advised to comply.
“On August 29, the employee complied. While we are not yet privy to the full details of the incident that led to the arrest of the employee, we are fully aware that the investigation is ongoing and we are cooperating with security agencies to ensure that the matter is resolved in the interest of justice,” she said.
On August 14, 2023 angry female law students of the faculty of law at the University of Calabar, Cross River State were seen in a video displaying placards with various inscriptions demanding the immediate removal of the Dean of the faculty, Prof. Cyril Ndifon for allegedly sexually harassing them.
