UNN Lecturer Caught Pants Down in Married Student Scandal

A University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) lecturer, who is also an award-winning professor, was caught in a compromising situation with a married female student in his office. The incident, which has sparked widespread discussion and concern across social media platforms, has raised questions about the integrity and conduct of university staff and the safety of students on campus. The lecturer allegedly coerced and forced the student, leading to further investigations to shed light on the situation.

In a shocking turn of events at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), a senior lecturer in the Department of Archeology and Tourism, Dr. Chigozie Odum, has been suspended for alleged sexual harassment of a female student. The university’s administration acted swiftly following a letter dated February 15, 2021, which detailed the accusations and ordered Odum to stay away from the institution pending the determination of the matter.

The scandal came to light after a petition was submitted to the vice-chancellor by Chijioke Onah, a Sage Fellow at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY. The petition accused Dr. Odum of abusing his power as a lecturer to coerce a final year student in the Department of Archeology and Tourism, who is Onah’s sister, into a sexual relationship. The family had kept quiet about the situation for a while to protect the student and the child she was carrying. However, the pressure from Odum, who allegedly threatened the family with the student’s graduation prospects, led them to speak out.

This incident has sparked widespread discussion and concern across social media platforms, highlighting the broader issue of abuse of power and sexual misconduct in academic institutions. The university’s swift action in suspending Dr. Odum reflects its commitment to addressing such issues and ensuring a safe and respectful learning environment for all students.
