The University of Benin in Edo State Nigeria has set up a committee to investigate allegations of sexual harassment made by an ex-student against a lecturer in the Faculty of Arts of the school.

The investigation was triggered by a social media post made against the professor by a graduate of the University, who claimed to have

suffered untold sexual harassment while studying under him.

The secretary of the investigation committee, Barr.  B. D. Jonathan, has in a circular urged members of staff and students with relevant information or who have experienced any incident related to the allegation to come forward and share it.

The circular said the information would assist the committee in carrying out a thorough and fair investigation.

“Be rest assured that your identity will be protected, and all information will be treated with utmost confidentiality,” the circular read in part.
