this is not a rape case where you need to hide the identiity of the said girl just because of public back lash,
if you are able to tape record a conversation and make it viral just for what ever reasons then you should be ready to fight to sanitize the system
so lady you must appear before the panel so that justice can be serve.

Nonsense. Absolute nonsensical nonsense. How many courses is the prof taking?
Step 1: Get all the result sheets from all the courses he has taken for the current session and the immediate past session
Step 2: Identify every female that failed his course over this period.
Step 3: interview those that got between 30 and 40. You may pick a couple that got between 40 - 45 too.

Chances are high that if you do not even get to know the particular female student through this procedure, you may get someone else to corroborate the story. Come to think of It, if they are calling the girl's number, then they must know her. Anyways, the girl is just a witness. The prof has a case to answer that is not invalidated even if the girl disappears or dies today self.

If the girl is pursuing a case against the prof, the case against the prof can not be heard if she refuses to come forward. Unfortunately, prof's offense is not just against the girl. His action was criminal and unethical so the university has grounds to discipline him if he can be found guilty via other means.

They do not even need to go that far.
According tio the audio, only 5 students failed. The lady in question scored 33. Simple. with that,her identity could be revealed and she'd be summoned.
My guess is that some people must have advised her not to pursue further or perhaps, she's being threatened.

HomeOfMe:
So many students are being sexually harassed in this very school but are afraid to speak out. A very close relation of mine graduated from OAU in economics. I remember he once told us a professor was sexually harassing him. Being a very brilliant guy,he was sure of a 2.1 but instead he got a 2.2. This was in 2010. Most of those lecturers are evil.

Was it a female professor that was harassing him?

zicoraads:

She has to. If she doesn't give account, any law student can look at that tape and tear into it and make it look like a call between a nanny and a little baby

yes no litigation can take place but as long as there's evidence he demanded sex, he's culpable for disciplinary action. If he denies........that's where the wahala (FOR HIM) begins. If he's guilty.

get his phone track record form his network .Contact them to get all his phone record.

She should be able to come out since people have heard and believed her claims. Did she not think of this before she broadcasted it..or have you ever heard a court case without the accuser..she should come out so that the man can be put to shame and the case be finished once and for all
But wait is she the only female in the class, let's call a spade a spade she sef no sabi book, sometimes it's not the fault of both our female students and the lecturers, if you pass well you won't have to know any lecturer talkless of asking for help talkless of him asking for sex in return though some cases are exceptional..when we were in school we all know pretty ladies that passes exams in flying colors but majority of the pretty ladies don't read and prefer to slay so whose fault
If the girl doesn't come forward now she should go to another school because she can never pass the mans course..he will only accuse her in the exam hall of whispering and he will tear her papers and ask her to start all over 10 mins ago..if he tears her paper 2 consecutive years she will have no choice than to leave the school..you go know say the girl no sabi book..why didn't she call for her papers to be remarked, that's what serious students do when they fail

Without been told we know the true

We all know what is happen in all our higher institutions when it comes to sex for mark

The Prof should resign honorably

This will later hunt him and the school authority when the Lady hold a good position later in life

Guesses are useful for entertainment not law.

Investiigations cost money and time
to justify that expense there must be an accuser. The law is in favour of the accused who remains innocent. Otherwise we would have an infinite number of investigations going on at any one time


Personally I believe that the professor is not clean BUT that is just a gut feeling,sentiment influenced by one side prsentation of facts. It has no value in law. One must be self aware enough to recognize such feelings and discipline them. They are misleading

Some people are suggesting all manner of things as if this is a film.

The reality is if no one comes forward then "case closed".

Like someone already said "he that comes to equity must come with clean hands." She is not clean too. However she doesn't have the same burden of responsibility as the prof.

Y0ruba:


At a university panel, ‘victims’ are always required to testify against the accuse for the panel to move forward - I think this is what operates in courts as well. Absence of ‘accuser/victim’ means the case will be thrown out of the window.

Comments at the faculty/department are that the man is a very affable person who tries as much as possible to simplify his courses in order to encourage students to pass. Taking the route you’ve suggested will not yield the result you anticipate, the students and the department like the man and hold him in high regards.

It will interest you to find out that the lady’s fellow students are surprised the lady could fail the course of a person who simplifies his courses, questions and lectures and does not demand a student go through hoops when writinh exams to pass.

What every public commenter is failing to grasp, which I think of as ignorance, is that the man is popular at the staff & students levels as a ‘cool dude’. And apart from this, even if he is not liked by everyone, he is a senior professor which is not expendable to the university, a replacement of the calibre has to be sought first; also the grant monies he has collected and put into research will go to blazes nobody expels a professor or an academic known to win grants or has a large grant box; and finally, in the academia except the whole departments wants to get rid of you, nothing will happen.

People need to learn how academia works and the fact that this is Nigeria.

Prof will walk but that girl’s acada will not.

The bolded is the summary of your posting o. Otherwise, the issue on ground should be more about ethics than victimization

Did they asked the Prof. whether the two conversation voices coming out of the phone was between him and the lady or not ? and for further investigation did they go to the network owner where the voice transaction occurred whether the phones in use at that moment actually belong and registered in the name of each one of them ?. If this investigative procedure is not undertaken it means the management is collaborating with the Prof. to rubbish the case.

d lady in question should go to the hearing of her case. but not without a feminist lawyer behind her.

If this investigative procedure is not undertaken it means the management is collaborating with the Prof. to rubbish the case.

Geonigga:
note that this is a public institution that have procedure of doing things. For the institution to go into a full blown investigation, the must be a formal petition to that effect.

Too much of sense

BOOMnaija:
If she comes forward, more cans of worms will be revealed and there would be unpleasant consequences thus:

1. Some more lecturers will be implicated. It's obvious she has served more lecturers her honeypot in d past, but she kicked again this one because the old fool demanded to be serviced not once, not twice, not thrice, but.... Five times. Haba kilode!

2. Most of her grades in d past will be downgraded as a result of ascertaining the fact that she got such grades through sleeping around with d other lecturers.

3. She will be a tourist attraction anywhere she's sighted on campus and beyond.

4. She will be victimised by other lecturers.



So d decision she has taken is d best obviously

well but is she not coming back to continue her course when the school resumes next month?
she can't hide forever... even if she is a final year student who has just graduated ,she will still need t have clearance ,results to be approved by the senate, call up letter to be collected for NYSC, certificate to be collected later etc...

That's wrong!

Both the professor and the girls are citizens of the state, of which the microcosmic administrative system of their school is subjective subset. The two of them are bound by the constitution and the criminal code!

There is no need for the girl's appearance before a prima facie case can be advanced against him. The agencies of the law are supposed to have invited the two of them and examining the exhibits on ground.

What the case were that he impregnated her, killed her and concealed the crime, would you expect him to come forward? No! But, the moment incriminating evidence surfaces linking him to her disappearance. The school has no more locus standi to spearhead the investigation. They would be duty bound as law abiding citizens to submit whatever facts in their possession to the Police or risk being accessories or charged with obstruction of the law.

This is why you see the FBI still solving cases after decades when all principal actors are even dead by linking evidence to evidence, thoroughly exploring every clue, exhausting every lead and following hunches to their logical conclusion.

And that's why lawyers get super-good and mega-rich from winning cases on the fiber points of technicalities instead of how people bribe and bully in and out of court as obtains in Nigeria. That's why they say we have almost the worst policing system and still a shithole country, it's bad! The law should be the defense of the upright, not their doom!

Criminal law is interestingly straight forward but unsentimentally brutal! As the they often say "Na persin wey no jam trouble go station nor know the great thing God do for am"!
May we & ours not find ourselves on the wrong side of the law, amen.

Even Jesus asked the woman caught in adultery, ' woman, where are thou accusers?'

They know her name
It happened last year
She has probably graduated
She is just not coming forth to testify, that's all

dominique:
Because she knows it is her against his friends and colleagues, any form of judgement will most likely be in favour of the lecturer.

This is not true, there are still men of integrity in the system, plus the fact that no matter how weighty a case appears to be, it is unfair to assign judgement based on one party's perspective or claims. My take is if it can be confirmed that the man is indeed the person on that call, he should be asked to resign. If you take this matter to court and the lady doesn't show up to testify, the case is still null and void.

d gal is stupid..she shud come out and defend herself...y is it dat in Nigeria we accuse only male if any issue rise up...d gal just want to destroy d proff integrity and reputation...OAU management av 2 ascertain dis matter effectively bcause gals ar tricky..can d gal claim dat she av never slept wit a proff b4??i tink d gal is guity initially,u dnt av 2 find or get a cunning means of passin an exam...read and pass!!

How I wish you guys can shut the Bleep outa hia.

Most of the guys castigating this professor here are paedophiles.

Jesus said, let him without sin be the first to cast the stone.
But I see hypocrites here who will prefer to remove the specs in other people's eyes forgetting the light of wood in their own eyes

yea.u get it..d gal av done such b4..in d conversation it shows dat dis is not d 1st tym d gal use er pussy to obtain marks...pple ar just blammin d proff...gals ar tricky sha...i dnt even pity d gal..y cant she read 4 er exam

Almost all sectors is flawed, the system only favours those that are loaded and/or those that are connected. Do you seriously believe that a panel consisting of friends and colleagues of the accused lecturer will give a fair judgement?

IamHeWrites:
The public relations office of the Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife in Osun state , Abiodun Olanrewaju, says the female student involved in the sex-for-mark scandal currently rocking the institution, has refused to come forward to testify before the panel that has been set up to investigate the matter.

In an audio convesation which has since gone viral, a lecturer in the school, professor Richard Akindele could be heard telling a final year female student, Enitan, that he will have to sleep with her five times before she can pass his course which she failed.

Speaking on a programme on Rave FM in Osogbo, the state capital on Wednesday April 11th, the OAU spokesperson said the incident happened last year.

According to Olanrewaju, the victim is said to be apprehensive that the lecturer might lose his job if she comes forward.

He said;
''We have put machinery in motion to ascertain the veracity of the claims and identify the characters involved. As I am talking to you now, the management has taken a position which we will be working on now. On the day that the audio was leaked, the vice chancellor and other principal officers of the university acted, including the legal director of the university. We set up a committee and the vice chancellor gave the committee one week to submit its report. After that, we will know what to do.

The incident happened last year. We have been calling her (the student’s) line, but she is not responding to her calls again. We learnt that she confided in someone that she did not want the appointment of the man (lecturer) to be terminated because of her case. The panel has been set up and query has been given to the man; but we need somebody to come up that she was the one that was sexually harassed and the person is not in sight.”

Old Pastor wanna Bleep granddaughter agemate

Tomorrow he is on d pulpit calling himself an Anglican elder

if I were the lady, I won't come out either for security reasons

revolt:
She doesn't hve to come forward. As long as there's evidence against him, he's culpable as a public officer.

Really? Evidence without the star witness? Ok na

It is still an allegation until it is proveed beyond any reasonable doubt. In Law there must be an accuser or his or her representative to support the allegation-So the insistitution has to look for the accuser and cross examine the audio record to determine its veracity- a public servant can't just be dismissed anyhow without a thorough investigation...Let us wait and see how the matter will be resolved by the authority concerned.

Kobicove:


Was it a female professor that was harassing him?

A male prof.

wellmax:


Nonsense.

So the point of my story is that there are two things involved and they are separate.

1. Student accuses professor in a case of victimization or whatever we want to call it. If this particular student doesn't show up, then there is no case.

2. School Authority is aware of a case of prof's alleged unethical practice. They do not need this particular girl to initiate the case. She is a witness, one of many exhibits that can be used to substantiate or disproof the case. Other witnesses, exam result trends, etc. should be reviewed to arrive a a conclusion.

If the girl was raped, she needs to come forward. If she's claiming that prof failed her and she wants her scripts to be remarked or she's seeking for justice on her part ny any means, she needs to come forward.

In my opinion it is a sign of incompetence or lack of the will to do the right thing that will make the school authority to claim that they can not investigate this matter without the girl in the audio call.

in other words, this girl is not an accuser in this matter. She is merely a whistleblower. The onus is on the school authority to conduct a proper and fair investigation

Rubbish !

So if one idiot alleges I buried the body of his mother under my house and refused to come forward my house should be demolished to exhume the body?
The essence of what is published is that of a RUMOUR nothing more without an accuser.

I agree with this submission. Not the first one. The school is saying the want the whistle blower to come forward, but she doesn't want to. According to the story, she is sympathizing with the lecturer (she does not want him sacked). But the school should take action regardless, they have evidence.
