Police operatives in Lagos State have arrested one Kadiri Akeem, a lecturer at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), who allegedly r@ped a 20-year-old undergraduate student.

The victim accused Dr. Babalola, an Associate Professor of Botany, of perpetrating the crime when she visited his office to sort out issues pertaining to her results.

The victim, who reported the case to an NGO, the Inclusive Social Welfare and Empowerment Foundation, said that Babalola r@ped her on Wednesday, August 16, 2023.

InclusiveSWEF reported the case to the Gender Unit of the state police command and through the OC Gender, the state CP, Idowu Owohunwa, issued a warrant of arrest for Babalola through the state High Court and involved the Vice Chancellor, UNILAG.

The VC was given seven days to produce Babalola and when the VC invited the randy lecturer for questioning, the NGO said he admitted to committing the crime. The VC informed the police through the Chief Security Officer of the school and Babalola was arrested.

Confirming the incident, the command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said: “He is to appear in court in the coming days.”
