Authorities of the University of Lagos on Sunday
have disowned the randy lecturer, Dr. Akin Baruwa,
who allegedly raped an 18-year-old admission
seeker.
Baruwa allegedly raped the young girl (name
withheld), who is seeking admission to the
university, in his office on July 23, 2015.
The lecturer, currently in detention at the Kirikiri
Prison, was arraigned before an Ikeja Magistrate’s
Court, Lagos, on Thursday.
But speaking with PUNCH on Sunday, the Head,
Information Unit of the university, Mr. Olagoke Oke,
said Baruwa was not an employee of the institution.
According to him, no such name exists on the
university’s employee list whether teaching or non-
teaching.
He added:
“The said Dr. Baruwa is a not a member of staff of
the university, whether teaching or non-teaching.
He also does not belong to the part-time or full-
time teaching staff of the school. His name is not
on the master list of workers of the university. I
have checked the staff list using his full name and
initials and could not come up with any such name
as of Friday, August 6, 2015.
I have also checked the list of office
accommodation given to members of staff of the
university and his name is not there.
There is no
office allocation attached to such a name. How he
reportedly entered the said office where the crime
took place is what we are looking into as an
institution.
While we sympathise with the alleged victim, we
are ready to cooperate with every agency of
government to get to the root of the matter as soon
as possible. As an institution, we do not support
any act of violence, not even against women.
Therefore, we will help to ensure that the case
comes to a logical conclusion.”
Meanwhile, as the authorities disowned the lecturer,
some students, in the Faculty of Business
Administration, who craved anonymity for fear of
victimisation, claimed that the suspect was a part-
time lecturer of the accounting department of the
university.
One of them said:
“I know him as a part-time lecturer in the
accounting department. I wonder what the
university wants to achieve now by trying to
disown him.”
The Dean of the Faculty of Business Administration,
Prof. Rasheed Ojikutu, could not be reached as of
6pm on Sunday.
Baruwa, who the police in Lagos arrested on August
3, reportedly confessed to the act but claimed that
the S*x was by mutual consent.
