Management of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile Ife, has handed over a lecturer, Monday Omo-Etan, to the police for allegedly assaulting a 19-year-old student.
The institution said in a statement on Wednesday by its spokesman, Abiodun Olanrewaju, that the lecturer has also been suspended.
“Less than three weeks after the Management of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, expressed its zero-tolerance against sexual harassment by investigating and suspending a lecturer of the Department of International Relations, Olabisi Olaleye, the university has suspended a worker of the OAU Centre for Distance Learning for sexually molesting a 19-year-old female student,” the statement said.
“The university has also handed over the tutor, Mr Monday Omo-Etan, to the police.
