Alleged Sexual Harassment Scandal Rocks Federal University Lokoja: Lecturer Stripped Naked

A senior lecturer at the Federal University Lokoja (FUL), located in Kogi state, found himself stripped near naked amidst allegations of forceful sexual advances towards a female student. The incident unfolded on Friday, May 10, sparking outrage among students and faculty alike.

The lecturer, whose full identity remains undisclosed at this time, reportedly faced the wrath of several female undergraduates from the English Department, where he teaches. They demanded public accountability, asserting that his actions could no longer be overlooked.

Witnesses at the scene described how the lecturer was stripped down to his boxers by enraged students before intervention from the school’s security unit at the Adankolo mini campus prevented further escalation.

During subsequent interrogation, the lecturer allegedly implicated his colleagues, including the Head of the Department (HOD), suggesting a systemic issue within the institution. He claimed they would provide him with names of female students, influencing their academic fate based on personal relationships.

In response to inquiries, Daniel Iyke, spokesperson for the university, confirmed that the administration was aware of the incident and had initiated an investigation. He assured the public that the university had internal mechanisms in place to address such matters and that the vice-chancellor had taken prompt action by forming a committee to investigate the case further.

Efforts to obtain statements from the female victim or her father, reportedly a police officer, were unsuccessful as they were shielded from interaction with the media.
