SHOCKER: As University Lecturer In Ekiti State Impregnates His 16 Year Old Student.

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.

It was the laboratory official who introduced me to Dr. Dada who eventually helped me out on Wednesday, July 26,” Azuka said.

The Submission.

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.
