UNN Suspends Lecturer For Allegedly Harassing Female Married Student

The management of the University of Nigeria (UNN) Nsukka has suspended Mr. Mfonobong David Udoudom, a lecturer in the General Studies division, caught in a video allegedly harassing a female student.

Uduodom’s victim is alleged to be someone’s wife.

It was gathered the lecturer had vowed that the female student would never pass his course unless she had sexual intercourse with him.

It was further gathered that trouble started immediately after the exams when the lecturer warned some female students would fail the course if they ‘failed to see him’.

“But, this particular lady who is married started begging the lecturer to collect money instead of s3x but he refused, insisting on doing it in his office,” a university source told ABN TV.

The source added that the lady informed her husband, who also lodged a complaint with the university authorities, which advised the lady to play along.

In a viral video, the lecturer was seen naked but only later allowed to wear inner shorts.

A voice in the viral video said: “We have been following this case from day one. As you can see we have all the chats, voice notes, videos and everything.”

But, reacting to the development in a statement on Tuesday, the acting Public Relations Officer, Dr. Okwun Omeaku, declared the indefinite suspension was with immediate effect pending the outcome of a disciplinary panel constituted by the University to investigate the incident.

“For the records, the University of Nigeria has a zero tolerance for s3xual misconducts involving our staff and students.

“UNN is among the few universities in the country that has a Sexual Harassment Policy, which guides the relationship between our staff and students in particular and among our male and female staff.

“As a university, we are committed to protecting our students from any form of abuse and exploitation, and the University Management will not hesitate to punish Mr Mfonobong David Udoudom according to our rules, if he is found guilty by our disciplinary panel,” Omeaku said.
