A senior lecturer at the Federal University Lokoja, Kogi State, was, on Friday, stripped following accusations of making sexual advances towards a female student.
The lecturer, whose full name remains unknown, reportedly angered female undergraduates from the institution’s English Department, where he teaches, upon learning of his alleged misconduct.
They insisted on his public humiliation, declaring that “his actions have caught up with him.”
Stripped down to his boxers, the lecturer was spared further embarrassment by the collective efforts of the school’s security unit at the Adankolo mini campus.
During questioning, the lecturer implicated his colleagues, suggesting that they provided him with names of students to “pass or fail” based on their relationships with such female students.
When contacted, the university’s spokesperson, Mr. Daniel Iyke, confirmed that the management was aware of the incident and had initiated an investigation.

Iyke said: “The thing is that the university has its own internal mechanism for taking care of it.
“The report has been brought to the attention of the Vice-Chancellor, and he has set up a body to look into it.
“This was done immediately and the report or the outcome will be made known as soon as it comes out.
“At this point, this is all I can volunteer.”
Efforts to reach the alleged victim or her father, reportedly a serving policeman, were unsuccessful as they were shielded from interacting with reporters.
