| Professor Atere. |
A
former Head of the Department of Criminology at the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti
in Ekiti State, Professor Adewole Atere, has been accused of
impregnating one Precious Azuka, a 16-year-old student in his department.
Miss Azuka was said to have fallen for
the Professor’s love claim after one of his subordinates, Dr. Chinedu
Abrifor pressured her into believing that she was ‘mature enough’ for
Prof. Atere when they met in March 2017 and in her confession when she
appeared before a fact-finding committee set up by the office of the then
Acting Dean of Students’ Affairs, E.O Adeyemi, where she said that her
relationship with Professor Atere caused the disagreement between herself and
her then boyfriend, Kayode Fasanya, which ed to their going their separate
ways.
“A
few days after Dr Abrifor approached me, she said, he accompanied Prof. Atere
to my hostel and they took me to their house at Aiyegbaju where I spent the
night. I was returned to the hostel by 6 a.m. the following day. This practice
continued for weeks”.
She said she got to know she was
pregnant two months into the amorous relationship and almost
everyone within and outside the hostel knew her story and so, opted for abortion
instantly but a doctor she saw told her he don’t do abortion it and had to
resort to self help.
According
to her, when she got to the hostel that day, she took lipton tea and lime which
made her experience serious blood flow and when she didn’t see her menstruation
the following months, she didn’t bother.

However
because she was already 21 weeks into the pregnancy, Premium Times reported
that the doctor said dilation and curettage (D&C) could no longer be conducted
and then offered to induce Azuka to labour, which took place on July 27,
2017.
Report of the fact-finding sub-committee
which was setup to look into the matter after an Ado-Ekiti based legal
practitioner Olaolu Ayodele, petitioned the school, was submitted to the
vice-chancellor’s office on August 14, 2017.
THE REPORT READ IN PART: “In the cause
of our investigation, we gathered that after Azuka had been discharged, on
August 2, 2017, Dr. Abrifor called her and Kayode Fasanya for a meeting in his
office at the faculty. On getting there, Dr. Abrifor asked them to meet him at
the mini campus junction by 6 p.m. same day where they were driven to Ifaki
Ekiti for another meeting.
“At the meeting, Azuka said Dr. Abrifor
accused Kayode Fasanya of impregnating her, and this led to an argument which
was later settled when Dr. Abrifor made a call to his wife and asked her to
calculate conception from March to July. She did and said it would be between
21 to 22 weeks, which was exactly what the test result claimed.
He apologized to Fasanya but asked
him to claim responsibility to protect Prof. Atere’s image.
