Sexual harassment: Failed by her lecturer, rewarded by university authorities

A female student of the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State, who was failed by a randy lecturer because she refused to give in to his sexual advances has been cleared by the school authorities to graduate.

The student, Ramota Olahanloye, had alleged that her lecturer Dr. Anthony Agbegbedia deliberately failed her in two final-year courses because she turned down his sexual demands.

After investigations by the school management, Miss Olahanloye’s scripts were reassessed, and it was discovered that she had more marks that were given to her by the sex demanding lecturer.

“The young lady’s scripts were re-marked, and she performed fairly better than the scores initially awarded by Dr. Anthony Agbegbedia,” said a statement made available to the media, Friday by Dr. Wole Balogun, the special adviser on media to the Vice-Chancellor of the school.

“The university management has given executive approval for her results to be processed. She has since commenced her final clearance from relevant units of the university,” said Dr. Balogun.

He said that Dr. Agbegbedia has been sanctioned by the institution for his misconduct, though he didn’t disclose the kind of penalty for the randy lecturer.
