Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) in the 2019 general elections has reacted to viral video of
University of Lagos (UNILAG) lecturer caught on camera demanding sex
from an “seeking admission.
His advances were captured in a 13 minutes video by BBC Africa.
The undercover journalist, Kiki Mordi, disguised as a 17-year-old admission seeker.
Igbeneghu disclosed that there is a place lecturers take female
students to have fun – UNILAG Staff Club. “They call the place cold
room,” he added.
Igbeneghu, at the first meeting was quoted as saying, “Don’t you know
you are a beautiful girl? Do you know I am a pastor and I am in my 50s
but if I want a girl of 17 years, all I need is a sweet tongue and put
some money”?
At the second meeting, he prayed with the journalist and later asked:
“What age do you start knowing men. Be assured that your mother will
not hear.”
Reacting to the allegation, Atiku while condemning the act, called for systemic strategies to put a deterrence to such behaviour
He wrote on Twitter, ”I have just read the story on #SexForGrades
across public tertiary institutions in many West African countries. This
is unacceptable, and requires systemic strategies to put a deterrence
to such behaviour.
”As a society, we cannot allow a trend that is psychologically
abusive to young women to thrive. In fact, that’s a direct opposite of
what a sound educational system represents.”
