Sex for grades: UNILAG Senior Lecturer Caught on Camera (Video)
Following the increased in the rate of sexual harassment facing female students on campuses by lecturers in West Africa Institutions, a Nigerian senior lecturer from the University Of Lagos (UNILAG) has been caught in the web.
A senior lecturer in the faculty of Arts, former sub-dean and the head pastor of a local Foursquare Gospel Church, Dr. Boniface Igbeneghu was caught by the BBC African Eye undercover journalist.
Academic institutions in West Africa have increasingly been facing allegations of sexual harassment by lecturers. This type of abuse is said to be endemic, but it’s almost never proven.
After gathering dozens of testimonies, BBC Africa Eye sent undercover journalists posing as students inside the University of Lagos and the University of Ghana.
Female reporters were sexually harassed, propositioned and put under pressure by senior lecturers at the institutions – all the while wearing secret cameras.
Reporter Kiki Mordi, who knows first-hand how devastating sexual harassment can be, reveals what happens behind closed doors at some of the region’s most prestigious universities.
