 Dr Akin Baruwa, a part time lecturer at the University of Lagos allegedly  raped a young lady seeking admission into the institution sometime in August,whilst  the Dean of Faculty of Law, UNICAL, Prof Cyril Ndifon, allegedly forced himself on a 400-level student of the faculty, leading to his suspension by the authorities of the institution

According to him, the lecturers will be tried on charges of alleged abuse of office.

He said: “The ICPC is getting involved on the basis of abuse of office, because you would not have had access to those (girls), if not because of your office.”
