The police have arrested a lecturer with the Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki, for allegedly raping one of his female students at gun-point.

The suspect, who teaches at the Department of Industrial Chemistry, was also accused of robbing his victim of N10,000 and a Motorola telephone set.

The suspect was paraded on Thursday in Abakaliki, by the Ebonyi State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Fredrick N-Nudam.

The police spokesman said the lecturer also took nude photographs of the student.

He said that investigations had linked the suspect with a secret cult, “the ” fraternity in the university.

In a related development, the police also paraded members of two syndicates, who allegedly specialised in defrauding people through blackmail and offer of fake overseas university admissions.

N-Nudam said that on January 16, 2008, the command arrested a couple for allegedly blackmailing a civil servant.

The police said the man arranged with the civil servant to sleep with his wife but later emerged with a gun, forced him to sleep with his wife, while he took nude photographs of them.

N-Nudam said because of a threat to expose their victim as a rapist, the couple forced him to pay N920,000 “to forestall public ridicule of his person.”

The couple, however, denied the allegations.

The police also paraded another man living in Abakaliki for allegedly swindling one Christian Chukwu of N1.3m.

N-Nudam said the suspect promised to secure his victim admission at the City of London College, United Kingdom.

N-Nudam said all the suspects would be prosecuted as soon as investigations were completed.
