UNILAG denies lecturer who raped admission seeker,says he is not a staff of the institution.

Firstclass newsline learnt that that authorities of the University of
Lagos on Sunday disowned the randy lecturer, Dr. Akin Baruwa, who
reportedly forcefuly raped an 18-year-old admission seeker.
Baruwa allegedly raped the young girl (name withheld), who is seeking
admission to the university, in his office on July 23, 2015.
The suspect lecturer, currently in detention at the Kirikiri Prison,
was arraigned before an Ikeja Magistrate's Court, Lagos, on Thursday.
But speaking with our correspondent on Sunday, the Head, Information
Unit of the university, Mr. Olagoke Oke, said Baruwa was not an
employee of the institution.
According to him, no such name exists on the university's employee
list whether teaching or non-teaching.
He said, "The said Dr. Baruwa is a not a member of staff of the
university, whether teaching or non-teaching. He also does not belong
to the part-time or full-time teaching staff of the school. His name
is not on the master list of workers of the university. I have checked
the staff list using his full name and initials and could not come up
with any such name as of Friday, August 6, 2015.
"I have also run some checks on the list of office accommodation
given to members of staff of the university and his name is not there.
There is no office allocation attached to such a name. How he
reportedly entered the said office where the crime took place is what
we are looking into as an institution.
"While we sympathise with the alleged victim, we are ready to
cooperate with every agency of government to get to the root of the
matter as soon as possible. As an institution, we do not support any
act of violence, not even against women. Therefore, we will assist to
ensure that the case comes to a logical end."
Meanwhile, as the authorities denied the lecturer, some students, in
the Faculty of Business Administration, who craved anonymity for fear
of victimisation, claimed that the suspect was a part-time lecturer of
the accounting department of the university.
One of the student of the institution said, "I know him as a part-time
lecturer in the accounting department. I wonder what the university
wants to get now by trying to deny him."
The Dan of the Faculty of Business Administration, Prof. Rasheed
Ojikutu, could not be reached as of 6pm on Sunday.
Baruwa, who the police in Lagos aprehended on August 3, reportedly
confessed to the act but claimed that the sex was by the girl consent.
