It was a cheering news a few days ago when the media was agog by the news that the sexual harassment case against Prof. Akindele, a former academic staff of Obafemi Awolowo University, has been finally put to rest. Sentencing him to 2 years in prison will serve as a lesson to many academics who have a penchant for sexually harassing and molesting female students. This is, therefore, a wake-up call to many academics in Lagos State University (LASU) who continue to sexually harass and molest students, especially the female ones, thinking that by nature of their height and positions in the University, they can be shielded from prosecution.

LASU has been enjoying some relative peace in recent time. There has been some good media publicity emanating from the University. Many of the accomplishments, such as maintaining the best state University in the last 3 years, and the very recent one where LASU became a World Bank Centre of Excellence, are all delightful news. This is in spite of the recent call by the ASUU Branch of LASU requesting the University Management to pay all Academic Staff of the institution their long overdue Earned Academic Allowance (EAA) from 2009-2017.

Despite the significant academic and infrastructural progress that the institution has made in recent years, some old hands, especially some Professors of the institution, just like the embattled Professor Akindele of OAU, are running the image of the University into the gutters. Prof. Leke Fakoya, popularly called Lefuck, is the most notorious of the Professors in LASU. He is a Professor of English. He was the immediate past Dean of Faculty of Arts whose tenure was marred with inefficiency and lack of creativity. His major escapade is to pounce on and molest many young female undergraduates, and boast publicly about how good he is in bed. He is popular for boasting about the number of female students in every particular session he sleeps with.

Prof. Kayode Taiwo of Psychology is also another character in the trade of sexual molestation of female students. Like Lefuck, Prof. Taiwo actually harasses, molests and forcefully sleeps with female students in his office. He has said several times that the University Management can do nothing, as they are in the good books of the Vice Chancellor. His boastfulness about this led him to ensure that the University did not renew the appointment of a female Graduate Assistant, Miss Latifat Odunuga, because she refused to sleep with him. The lady was a First Class graduate of Psychology.

On the outside, you will think that Prof. Biodun Akinpelu of the Department of Educational Technology is the closest to God. He is popularly known as “coded”, as his first approach with the female students is to pretend to them as if he is preaching the gospel. He is a serial womanizer and a molester. No wonder he is on record to have impregnated his housegirl.

Dr. Surajudeen Mudashiru is an Associate Professor of Political Science. He is cool and collected. But Dr. Muda, as he is fondly called, is notoriously a female student’s regular toaster. His wife recently left him and took their kids away to the USA because of his notoriety in harassing female students.

I am aware that the University management is making efforts to rid LASU of bad eggs, such as a few of them mentioned above. There are still many more. The very recent dismissal of Dr. Odubunmi of Economics, Dr. Ogunwande of Chemisty and Dr. Gbeleyi of LASUCOM are some of such efforts. But the University needs to do more to ensure that female students in LASU are protected from being sexually harassed and molested from these randy Professors.

Good one
At least others will learn

Lalasticlala, this is a good post.

Just LASU but most public universities countrywide

Lalasticlala, Fynestboi, Seun, Olawalebabs and Richiez,

Please, this is a fake post written by a ghostwriter. I'm a LASU graduate and all the claims in this post are totally false and a mere cheap blackmail. I advise we pull the post down to maintain the serenity of this platform. The moniker that posted it was created just two days ago - to show you how fraudulent she is.

A big thank you to the managers of this forum for pulling down the malicious write up. You cannot just come here on the directive of some individuals to malign innocent personalities. The forces of darkness will never prevail and the truth will always be victorious!
