El-Rufai Orders Investigation Into Sex-For-Grade Allegation In Opposition To KASU Lecturer

“The suspension of Mr. Umar by KASU is the first step. He and 15 lecturers sacked by nearby ABU‎ Zaria for segxwal harassment will be fully investigated & prosecuted by the Attorney General of Kaduna State. We must face evil & end this scourge in our state,”

“This is a normal management meeting that holds every week as mandated by the institution’s management to receive reports from faculties, directorates and units of the university.
“Sometimes in the first week of October, a lady who was an ex-student of ABU tweeted that a former staff of the institution who is employed by KASU, had segxwally harassed her when he was a staff at ABU.
“She mentioned his name and the Vice Chancellor of KASU quickly formed a committee to investigate the issue, not only to clear its name, but to reassure parents and students who are studying here or intend to study of their safety.
“KASU is building a reputable name as a centre of excellence, so such allegations need to be investigated and cleared. The incident did not occur in KASU, but the way the issue is being portrayed is like we are providing a safe haven for those whose appointments had been terminated elsewhere. Umar was appointed in error; there was no much investigation to ascertain what made him leave ABU at the age of 54. Ashafa disclosed that two committees were set up; one was to investigate Umar’s case, while the second was for general investigation on events on campus relating to both academic and non-academic employees of the institution.
“The second committee is to also collect testimonies and memoranda from past and current students who are victims of such misconduct; and who are willing to share their experiences’’.
