A lecturer at the Ekiti State University (EKSU), Ado Ekiti, Dr. Olaleye Aduwo, has alleged that he is being set up by cult members and the student who accused him of demanding sex for marks.
Aduwo had appeared in a 29-second video where he was assaulted and accused of having intercourse with a female student in exchange for marks.
The lecturer had since presented his defence before a panel set up by the university to investigate the matter.
Speaking with journalists in Ado Ekiti on Monday, Aduwo claimed his accusers were trying to smear his reputation.
“Though the incident came to me as a surprise and it is still under investigation. I urge members of the public to disregard any misleading information circulated on social media as such was not true.
“The lady in question was more or less like a daughter and a friend to my own daughter hence, I couldn’t have asked her for sex,” he said.
“On the said day, some unknown hoodlums suspected to be cultists, numbering about 15 suddenly invaded my house along Ikere Road, Ado Ekiti through the connivance of the lady in question, to molest me.
“I had just shared dinner with my friend, Mr. Allen Akinmudiro, co-inhabitant in the same flat when the incident happened around 10 pm in my living room.
“The female student in question who is a friend to my own daughter arrived the house and took part in the dinner with me and Mr. Akinmudiro, but neither did I know that she had an ulterior motive.”
