Alleged rape: UNILAG committee links Baruwa to varsity’s DLI


There are indications that the four-man panel set up by the University of Lagos to investigate the circumstances surrounding the alleged rape of a candidate by one Dr. Akin Baruwa will submit its report on Wednesday.
Sources privy to the panel’s report on Monday told our correspondent that one of the findings by the committee is that Baruwa, at the time of allegedly committing the crime, handled a course at the Distance Learning Institute at UNILAG.
But because he was said not to be entitled to an office, the committee is said to have discovered that another lecturer gave him the office where the student was allegedly raped.
The panel, headed by the Dean of Student Affairs, Prof. Tunde Babawale, was constituted about three weeks ago after authorities at the university first denied that Baruwa was on its staff list.
A source told our correspondent, “The panel has recommended that the lecturer who was assigned the office where Baruwa was said to have raped the student should be sanctioned. Baruwa is indeed teaching a course at the DLI but he was not assigned any office. The lecturer who yielded his own office to him will be queried.”
Baruwa had, on July 23, allegedly raped the 18-year old admission seeker in an office within the Faculty of Business Administration.
The university had promptly accused Baruwa of impersonation, denying that he was part of its teaching and non-teaching staff.
The Dean, Faculty of Business Administration, Prof. Rasheed Ojikutu, had said, “The offence in question is so disgusting and unspeakable that adding impersonation to it makes it more grievous. There is no question of denial here because individuals must answer for their undesirable deeds and conducts in the society. Therefore, we would have owned up to his affiliation to our faculty if he had been one of us. Any student who claimed to know him as a teacher is certainly not a student of the faculty.”
However, attempts by our correspondent to speak with Ojikutu on Monday was not successful as he neither picked his calls nor responded to text messages sent to his line.

Allardyce exit saddens Infantino

Allardyce exit saddens Infantino       FIFA president Gianni Infantino has admitted to being “extremely surprised” and “very sad” at the affair that ended Sam Allardyce’s brief reign as England manager. “Of course I am extremely surprised. I am also very, very sad about what has happened, about what we are reading, that this is just the tip of the iceberg and that there might be other issues coming and other stories coming out,” Infantino said in an exclusive interview with AFP. “It is sad, it is sad for football, but of course I know that the English Football Association is looking into the matter and doing their own investigation, and will come to their own conclusions, so we should let those who do their job, do their job and then come with conclusions before commenting any further.” Allardyce, 61, was sacked last month after he made a series of embarrassing comments, notably in relation to loopholes ...
