An unnamed female undergraduate student at the University of Lagos, Akoka, has accused Dr. Kadiri, a lecturer at the institution, of rape.
The student said that the incident happened when she went to the lecturer’s office to discuss a problem with her test results.
According to a non-governmental organization, Inclusive Social Welfare and Empowerment Foundation, where the victim filed the allegation, the lecturer allegedly raped the undergraduate on August 16, 2023, instead of addressing her exam-related concerns.
Reports gathered that InclusiveSWEF reported the case to the Gender Unit of the state police command and through the OC Gender, the state CP, Idowu Owohunwa, issued a warrant of arrest for the lecturer through the state High Court and involved the Vice Chancellor of the university.
