An audio clip of a University of Ilorin lecturer sexually harassing one of his students has led to his resignation.
Allegedly caught in the act, which leaked on social media last week, was Dr. Mohamed Sani Idiagbon, the Head of the Department of English. His victim, identified only as “Faith” by the Students’ Union President, is said to be a 200 level student of the department.
SaharaReporters had obtained consent from the victim to distribute this audio.
Faith had gone to the perpetrator’s office concerning a Continuous Assessment test she had missed, and the lecturer appears to have seized the opportunity to sexually harass her.
A student of the University who requested anonymity told SaharaReporters that Dr. did his sexual and corrupt acts in collaboration with his colleagues in the department. In that regard, he mentioned another lecturer nicknamed “Michael Alabi Jackson”, as one of his allies.
That student told SaharaRepoters that if the university promises to protect the female students in the department, several of them will come into the open about Dr. Idiagbon’s track record of sexual harassment.
In a phone interview, the University’s Director of Corporate Affairs, Kunle Akogun, confirmed Dr. Idiagbon resignation after he had been suspended and removed as the head of the English department.
Mr. Akogun told SaharaReporters that Dr. Idiagbon refused to honor an invitation of the Staff Disciplinary Committee before he chose to resign.
He further stated that the university is investigating the matter and will ensure that the lecturer is duly punished if found guilty of the allegations against him.
In his words, “The university frowns against sexual harassment or any other harassment at that. The university is making necessary investigation and once we are done, the culprit will be brought to book.”
The sub-dean of student affairs, Dr. Yussuf, said that the case was reported to the Students’ Support Centre shortly after the Easter break.
Investigations show that the university failed to take the case seriously until the video went viral on social media, suggesting that the institution is normally negligent in such matters. Dr. Yussuf assured that Faith will be protected from any form of victimisation.
Close friends of the victim said she has been traumatised since the video went viral.
Who gave him opportunity to resign? He should have been fired, Nigeria is a mess.
ReplyDeleteWhere is the link to the audio clip?
DeleteExactly.
DeleteAda, ne dem dem na. He will get another job in another school and claim he resigned on personal grounds and when u call unilorin to confirm they will say he resigned voluntarily. He was given a soft landing cos they are all guilty of the same offence
DeleteUnical students, what are you waiting for?
DeleteI guess he gat a thing for we Faith.... That serves him right......I still remember 14 years ago how he failed my friend twice. I was just lucky he didn't pull that stunt with me.
DeleteSHAME SHAME SHAME on aLl of you on this blog that victimised the poor girl. You all are powerless, more of his victims will start coming out.
DeleteShame on you all. Going by all your rubbish comments,the girl wouldn't have gotten justice. The stupid man would have been free.
For the ones that called for her arrest, may every good thing in your life be arrested for ever.
Nonsense. He should be arrested and charged to court jare. See him posing and denying to face panel. Someone that should have been locked up and shamed.
DeleteAnd what is traumatising the girl? Sebi she voluntarily released the viral tape. At least this will curb all those lecturers in every university across the nation. They wouldn't dare this nonsense again. The power of social media
Ahh I wish a Uniben student will summon the courage to do this. Especially in our English department. Or is it Education faculty? Jesu! Even the people you will swear that they can never be involved in this moral decay is the ogbonga of the whole shit. "What a wow"😳
ReplyDeleteMost English department are cursed with silly lecturers.
DeleteYou don't blame them. You find the highest number of female students there and of course their mode of dressing contributes to all them sexual harassment
DeleteNa to begin frisk students before entering staff room now o. No more phones will be allowed, before they set all of them up. Eheh
DeleteBetter! Let him go and work somewhere else, nonsense! The power of social media, yes!
ReplyDeleteMeaning the girl was right na Stella. And u pple disbelieved her ah ahn

ReplyDeleteGood one
ReplyDeleteTraumatised?
ReplyDeleteWhat then was her aim of recording?
Now i belive those that said they had something going on before that incident. There's something fishy about these two.
Na the trauma me sef no understand. At least she won this case. If the man faces panel he will kukuma reveal everything. Whether they've been sleeping together before. He has nothing to lose again cos he's going down. But it will put the girl in bad light if he reveals that part sha.
DeleteAnd his name is Dr Muhammed Sani. I am sure he has 4 wives at home including underaged girls . Hypocrites and pretenders.
ReplyDeleteHow ignorant of you. Pele
DeleteJames,you are just an unrepentant bastard!!!!
DeleteBut the girl sef.
ReplyDeleteShe carry her leg go find wahala. So that the man will talk. I hope she is satisfied now. Her own wahala just start as they will look for a way to fruatrate her.
The way she was talking in the recording was as if the man to say something incriminating which he didnt really say. If he has better lawyer he can win a case against her but his reputation is tarnished .
The man does not sound like someone that forced her. There was no reference made to a previous sexual encounter or previous demand for sex.
The girl is devil sent
You must be a BUFFOON!!
DeleteAnon are you serious? Like seriously?
DeleteI can see you have never experienced sexual harrassment(of any kind). This lecturers are wicked. Its possible that this man has done something to somebody or even to faith and they are paying him back accordingly...
Please don't judge her(weda she be runs girl or walk girl). If you should experience harrasment from lecturers (emotional or sexual),you would have a better understanding.
When it seems a man is determined to hold your future in his hands for over 4years after grad, when he says come and write makeup test in my house,when he constantly says things that causes embarrassment and belittles your person, when you are so scared to check your result because u just know that you have already failed "this same old, same old course".
Untill someone tells you what he or she has gone through you wouldn't know.
And to all the judge judyz that would want to come and drive over my comment...be careful you don't exactly know what people are going through.
Whether he forced her or not, he is not supposed to use his position of power to make any sexual advances towards her.
DeleteTell whoever that has your brain to kindly return it now.
KING XOXO MYSTERY
Na true o. Make person det near God as person dey do work that devil will not send his cohort to our workplace.
DeleteIt may not even be sexual allegation matter. It could be something else. You never know who is recording your voice to use against you.
Please don't type anything if you can't be reasonable. Must everything be said in ABC before you can interpret? People like you just chose to be ignorant.
DeleteThe context of the discussion says it all. Any "reasonable" Nigerian who listens to the clip will have one interpretation. Not two, but one... Clearly you are not reasonable to think otherwise
DeleteHuhh???
DeleteSince this man has got a track record of sexual harassment against female students, the university should have allowed him to resign yet. He's got questions to answer before the committe!
ReplyDeleteThey should really investigate this properly and if found guity, made to face the full wrath of the law.
The only crime d randy lecture committed is abuse of office and trust. And not sexual harassment.
ReplyDeleteFrom dia discussion, d girl herself is a confirmed runs girl.She has gbenshing for ages. She has gbenshed the man many times before.
*has been
DeleteJames, why are you such a dumb piece of shit???????
DeleteGood! I hope d girl won't be targeted by other corrupt lecturers.
ReplyDeleteCYRIL NDIFON of UNICAL,adamant fool won't you also resign?idiot,filthy thing,God will punish you,karma knows your address(es),Ewu Ewu,calabar DOG,useless animal,'Relax you will all pass'Wizard,bloody seadog
ReplyDeletePeople have been mentioning this Cyril ndifon on social media for a long time, I guess the hour has come for proper investigation
DeleteI sincerely hope this kind of thing will happen in AAU EKPOMA useless lecturers everywhere.
ReplyDeleteEvery good hunter knows. Never hunt at your place of work( students, co-workers , PA or secretary) or close to your family. i mean wife friends or relative. Instead of hunting your Co-worker, PA or sec GO for their friends. They will respect you for that. Never bring a woman close to where you make your living from. Thats the golden rule
ReplyDeleteWell people like this always have informant or allies who would hve advised him to resign before he's dismissed. Under Prof. Oloyede this urvhin would have been dismissed.
ReplyDeleteProfessor Akanbi from Faculty of Agric in Lautech.You are next and watch how God is going to make ur life a living hell.
ReplyDeleteI knew him years back! Him too?! I wudn't have pegged him a randy man!
DeleteHe's resigning to escape prosecution. 6 years jail sentence di fear am.yeye man
ReplyDeleteIf he is an emirate his resignation is a fat lie. It's either he's been reposted or on compulsory leave. Trust me Emirates always have each other's back. That's why Kwara civil service is nothing to write about.
DeleteI better go anonymous before ilorin peeps come for me.
But you did not lie na. If its a lie let em debunk.
DeleteGood. More should be made to face the music. More students should try and set traps to these randy lecturers.
ReplyDeletePrecious Ibk you are looking for a student to do that. Are you not a student?
Very good!
ReplyDeleteI was soo pissed listening to how arrogant he sounded in that audio.
"You know u are not the only one. So why are u behaving like this? Why are u fake" Please go and don't come back. See veiled threat!
Animal!
I hope other lecturers are watching. The day of reckoning wil soon catch up with u if u don't repent from exploiting and frustrating these young ones.
Of all things to ask it's sex??? Force her to be defiled. You lousy lots don't know what the pain of this does to a young girl. Any lady for that matter.
It's just ur wife and kids I pity. But for u,I like the epic disgrace Mr.
Very disgusting. I'm sure he was pulling her top and trying to fondle her breasts..Ewwwwwwww hence she kept saying her boobs were aching her. Smelly ass arrogant man.
DeleteIf I were the babe I would have used him as a case study. Would have taken time to record him for the entire semester so to get concrete evidence. Infact I'll stalk and record him with other students if possible. They should bug their offices with video devices to see what goes down. Imagine some students who are cool with having sex with his ilks, those ones won't complain o. They'll be servicing the lecturers happily, feeling like big girls on campus. Rubbish
Mallam Zukoki of English dept BUK, i hope u r seeing dis. Ur hour z almost up too.
ReplyDeleteLike I said earlier on, stop shaming victims. If u have nothing reasonable to say, our elders will advice u keep quiet. If the police where to judge this matter based on the comments from our bv on the last post, the girl for don dey kiririki.
