The management of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, has suspended a lecturer identified as Mr Mfonobong Udoudom, who was caught in a now-viral video allegedly harassing a female student.
The lecturer who was caught in a viral video wearing a pair of boxers is said to be a lecturer in the General Studies division of the university.
Although our correspondent could not independently ascertain the day the incident occurred, the University had confirmed it.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, signed by Acting Public Relations Officer, Chief Okwun Omeaku, the university said the randy lecturer has been suspended indefinitely while clarifying that he is not a professor.
His indefinite suspension, according to the statement, was to enable a thorough investigation into the incident by a disciplinary panel constituted by the University.
“The indefinite suspension is with immediate effect pending the outcome of a disciplinary panel constituted by the University to investigate the incident,” the statement noted.
“For the records, the University of Nigeria has zero tolerance for sexual misconduct involving our staff and students. UNN is among the few universities in the country that has a Sexual Harassment Policy, which guides the relationship between our staff and students in particular and among our male and female staff.
