A senior lecturer at the Archeology Department of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, UNN, has been arrested by the police for allegedly impregnating a student and going ahead to threaten her life.



The lecturer, Dr. Chigozie Odum, was alleged to have put the female student, Onah Chinyere in a family way after coercing her into a sexual intercourse.



Sources gathered that following a petition from the family lawyer of the female student, men of the Crack Squad, Enugu State Police Command picked the lecturer up in Nsukka from where he was moved to Enugu.



According to the petition, “It is our client’s instruction that she has been a student in the Archeology and Tourism Department, Faculty of Arts, University of Nigeria, Nsukka.



According to her instructions, Dr. Odum Chigozie Jude is one of the lecturers in the said department.



“Our brief further showed that the said Dr. Odum Jude went and approached our client and demanded to be sleeping with her and threatened our client that if she refuses, she will never graduate from the said department.

He further threatened her that he was a cultist while in school and that up till today he still has a good number of them under his payroll. He, therefore, warned the girl to comply with his demands and requests in her own interest.



Our information further showed that he called the girl to his house and forcefully had sexual intercourse with her,” the petition signed by Barr. F. C. Ugwuama read.



Meanwhile, the lawyer at a press briefing disclosed that though the family had written to the authorities of the UNN over the matter, they were yet to get any response.



Sources claimed that though the petition was copied to the UNN VC, the HOD of the lecturer’s department, as well as Servicom, there was no response until the ultimatum given by the family elapsed. This was said to have prompted the petition to the police

A source claimed that the UNN authority was shielding the lecturer, an indigene of Anambra State.

Let him be exposed and prosecuted. Let his pictures go viral.
