The lecturer at the Department of English,
University of Ilorin, Dr Mohammed Idiagbon, has been sacked as the
head of the department for allegedly wooing one of the students of the
institution. Sources at the university said the lecturer was removed as the HoD after the audio tape became public knowledge that he allegedly intimidated and wooed the
unnamed student. Listen to the Audio tape after the cut.
They stated that the lecturer had invited the student to his office and allegedly proposed romantic friendship with her. while the lecturer was moving on sexually act on her the unnamed student recorded the conversation between her and the lecturer.
However, is unclear if the lecturer actually raped the student, a panel was set up to investigate the matter and the lecturer was queried.
Dr. Mohammed Sani Idiagbon, a University of Ilorin lecturer was caught
on a tape sexually harassing a female student in his office. According
to a very close friend of the victim in the audio clip who claimed
anonymity, the girl missed his class test. Consequently, Idiagbon used
the opportunity to invite her to his office for sex as the only
alternative to pass the course.
The report attached to the
YouTube clip shows that the school management, up till 30th May 2016,
failed to see to the matter and therefore left the student in great
threat and despair. However, according to Sahelnewsonline correspondent,
though the university is yet to make official remarks on this issue,
recent report gathered so far has shown that Idiagbon has been suspended
by the school authority.
Report gathered shows that Idiagbon has
two major ways of setting traps for students – making them to fail his
course and attaching to him a lot of female project/thesis supervisees.
“Gist
has it that he preys on innocent ladies in the department – exchanging
sex for grades. Mind you, he feast on supersize ladies who are way
beyond his fist. In addition, this man has no pity and can crush even
male students that will not leave their ‘target’. I can only describe
Idiagbon as Sex-for-Grade Master (SGM).” said Babajide Roland, former
student of the department.
“This lecturer tells his students to
their face that they will fail his course (i.e. Syntax), a challenging
course to most students. A classmate once told me he wanted to sleep
with her in his office. She told him she was engaged and he replied
that’s not new; she then lied that she was pregnant and he replied it is
even sweeter with pregnancy. Anyway, what happened next my friend
didn’t tell me.” Lamented Mrs. Adeyemi L. Adedigba, a former student of
Idiagbon.
Surprisingly, almost 95% of his students (former and
current) interviewed claimed that Idiagbon does his sexual and corrupt
acts in collaboration with his co-worker in the department, Taofeeq
Alabi (popularly called Michael Jackson). Some of these students say
that these two University of Ilorin English Department lecturers ensure
they’re made to be in charge of students' results compilation team and
volunteer most times to serve as members of examination committee in
order to ease perpetration of their atrocities.
Since a bill for a
law which prescribes five-year jail term for lecturers who engage in
sexual relationship with students has passed second reading at the
senate, it is the belief of most concerned Nigerians (students in
particular) that Idiagbon should be brought to book with no delay in
order to serve as deterrent for other lecturers like him.
It is
believed that according to the sponsor of the bill, Senator Ovie
Omo-Agege “...the bill imposes stiff penalties on offenders in its
overall objective of providing tighter statutory protection for students
against sexual hostility and all forms of sexual harassment in tertiary
schools. The bill provides a compulsory five-year jail term for
lecturers who sexually harass students. When passed into law, vice
chancellors of universities, rectors of polytechnics and other chief
executives of institutions of higher learning will go to jail for two
years if they fail to act within a week on complaints of sexual
harassment made by students…”
