Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State has ordered the authorities of Ambrose Ali University, Ekpoma, to investigate the allegation of sexual harassment against P.O. Otubu, a lecturer in the electrical/electronic department of the state-owned university.
The governor’s order followed a video posted on Social networking site 'facebook', which revealed the disgrace faced by Otubu after one Judith Okosun, a 400-level student of mechanical engineering, who he allegedly pestered for sex, set him up.
The video was recorded when Judith reportedly found out that Engineer Otubu had failed her in a course after she forcefully had sex with her. The lecturer later claimed to Judith that he forgot her matriculation number promising to give her a better grade after another opportunity. An enraged Judith then engaged her friends to videotape an encounter with the lecturer, after she reportedly tried in vain to get the university to intervene on her behalf.
Engineer Otubu, a lecturer of Electrical/Electronics teaches a faculty-wide course in the faculty of engineering and technology .
Spokesman for the university, Chris Adama-Igbo, told Saharareporters that following the governor’s order, the registrar of the university had issued queries to both Mr. Otubu and Ms. Okosun.They have up till Monday, July 26, to respond to the queries, after which they face a panel to be constituted soon by the university.
