UNILAG rape saga: No one Testified Against Lecturer

Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU),  University of Lagos (UNILAG) chapter, Dr Adelaja Adekoya said yesterday that nobody came forward to testify against the alleged rapist lecturer, Akin Baruwa, when the school set up a panel to investigate the matter.
Adekoya, while speaking with Daily Trust, said it is not true that the institution refused to investigate a petition allegedly written by another victim against Baruwa.
According Adekoya,  the varsity’s Vice Chancellor has a reputation and will not have cover up such a case.
He said when the panel was constituted, nobody came forward to testify against the lecturer and as such the institution could not be accused of complicity.
“The vice chancellor we have here is a credible man. He does not condone unethical conducts. If a complaint is filed against any lecturer, I can tell you that there is nobody that can intervene at that level. What we know is that when the panel was constituted based on the alleged victim’s complaint, nobody came forward to testify against the man and as such the case died a natural death. Even in a law court, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Although, I sympathise with the complainant, the case must be proved,” Adekoya said.
Baruwa, a supposed lecturer/project supervisor with UNILAG was alleged to have raped an 18-year-old admission seeker in his office a few weeks ago. The development attracted a lot of interest and the university disowned the lecturer.
The UNILAG ASUU chairman said Baruwa is not a member of the academic union. He also said the management and ASUU set up separate panels.
On why the school and union will investigate someone who is neither on the payroll nor a member of ASUU, Adekoya said the management is aware of the fact that the supposed incidence took place within the varsity’s property and as such there was a need to find out “insider collaborators who could have made such facilities available to him”.
The ASUU chairman said the management and union will ensure that anyone found culpable in the incident is punished.S

How Kwara Polythecnic Denied their Own Students

The authorities of Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin, on Tuesday disowned suspected cult members involved in Saturday’s bloody clashes in some parts of the metropolis.

The Deputy Rector (Administration) of the polytechnic, Mr Ahmed Aminu, who addressed a news conference in Ilorin, was reacting to media reports that 13 students of the institution died during bloody clashes involving rival cult groups in Ilorin.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the police had arrested 14 suspected cult members over their involvement in the clashes while two persons were confirmed dead.

Aminu said the polytechnic completed its examinations for the 2014/2015 academic session on Aug. 8, and had ordered students to vacate the campus on the same day.

He added that screening for the 2015/2016 Students Union election, which was believed to have triggered the bloody clashes, ended peacefully with security agents in attendance as observers.

“There was no cult clash in Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin. The students finished their examinations for the 2014/2015 academic session on Aug. 8, 2015 without any hitches.

“Circulars were issued to that effect and students had vacated the campus.

“The 2015/2016 Students Union election screening exercise was successful.

“It was witnessed by operatives of security agencies like the State Security Service, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and the police, with a copy of the result given them,” Aminu said.

Aminu also said the only academic activity on the campus presently was the conference marking of examination scripts.

He appealed to residents of the state not to panic following the media reports, saying the institution had ended its academic session before the incident. (NAN)
