A lecturer at the Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka, reportedly put his hands into the underwear of a female final year student of the institution who was cheating in an examination over the weekend.
Student Pulse gathered from a Leadership
report that the incident happened last Friday when students of the
institution’s department of Library and Information Science were writing
an examination for a course called ‘Entrepreneurship and Information
Services’.
The lecturer, identified as Sylvester
had found the student, identified only as Oghenero, cheating and
forcefully removed the incriminating material from her underwear.
It was reported that the Oghenero had refused to hand
over the material as requested by the lecturer, who reacted by dipping
his hands into her underwear inside the examination hall after a brief
shouting match.
In some countries, Okiemute's intervention may be seen as a case of sexual assault.
Reports say there have been several cases of examination malpractices since the institution began its examinations.
