Management of University of Benin (UNIBEN) has inaugurated a panel to investigate the allegation of s*xual harassment against a professor in its Faculty of Arts.
Gatekeepers News reports that the university announced the inauguration of panel through a circular released by Secretary of panel, B. D. Jonathan on Saturday in Benin.
This comes after a graduate of the university took to social media to call out the lecturer for s*xually harrassing her during her undergraduate days.
However, the panel did not disclose the lecturer’s.
It urged members of staff and students with relevant information, or anybody who might have fallen victim to the lecturer’s escapades, to come forward and share it.
The school noted that the information will assist committee in ensuring a thorough and fair investigation.
The circular added, “Be assured that your identity will be protected and all information will be treated with utmost confidentiality.”
