See The Face of The UNILAG Lecturer That Raped an 18-yr-old Admission Seeker

The police on Thursday arraigned a part-time lecturer, Afeez Baruwa, for allegedly raping an 18-year-old admission seeker. 

Baruwa took the victim, who was seeking admission into the University of Lagos, Akoka, inside a study room, where he allegedly raped her.  The victim’s father, who belonged to the same landlords’ association with Baruwa in the Abesan, Ipaja area, had allowed his daughter to follow the suspect, on July 23, to UNILAG for an admission process. 

Baruwa was said to have, however, raped the girl inside one of the study halls at about 9am, when the duo got to the campus.  It was also reported that the girl, who relayed the incident to her parents, was taken to a non-governmental organisation, Mirabel Centre, where she was tested. 

The medical result had revealed that the teenager was violated.  The case was thereafter taken to the Lagos State Office of the Public Defender, and also reported at the Surulere Police Division. Baruwa was subsequently arrested.  The 42-year-old lecturer was arraigned before an Ikeja Magistrate’s Court in Lagos on Thursday.

Awope, admitted the accused to bail in the sum of N250,000 with two sureties in like sum. 

Awope ordered that Baruwa should be remanded at the Kirikiri prison until his bail terms were perfected.  The case was adjourned till September 9, 2015 for trial.
