A lecturer at one of Nigeria’s leading universities – the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) – has been suspended following allegations that he sexually harassed a female student, a statement by the university has said.
The move comes after a video went viral on social media, showing a man in only his shorts and trying to hide his face as he is confronted by people in what appears to be an office.
In the video, a person says: “We have been following this case from day one, we have tracks, all the voice notes, and everything.”
Another one says. “A married woman for that matter, someone’s wife.”

“As a university, we are committed to protecting our students from any form of abuse and exploitation,” it added.
