A part-time lecturer, Afeez
Baruwa, has been arrested for allegedly raping an 18-year-old admission seeker,
Caroline (pseudonym) at the University of Lagos, Akoka.

Admission Seeker at UNILAG He tells his part of the story below:
“It is true that I took her to YABATECH and showed her places.
What is not true is that I deliberately took off from home because of any plan
to do anything bad to her. I took off from home that early to avoid traffic.
“When she was in my office, she was the one telling me to
be free with her. I realised that I needed to lie down a little and did not
want my shirt to be rumpled. When I pulled it off, she even told me not to mind
her presence that since it was my office, I could do whatever I wanted.
“When we first got to the office, she lay on my chest
and was even playing with my manhood. That was why I could not resist it. After
we came back from seeing the woman who was supposed to help with her admission,
she was about to go when I told her to give me a hug. It was that which now led
to the actual sexual encounter.
“When I realised that I could not resist her, I had to
tell her to let me put on a condom. The truth is that, while I was putting on a
condom, she stood by and waited. I did not actually penetrate. When she was
saying ‘it’s enough, it’s
enough’ and complaining that her tummy had started hurting
her, I stopped.”
Baruwa explained that Shola’s
father had sent a cryptic text message to him (days later when he learnt of
what happened to his daughter), saying that he had learnt of what he did to his
daughter.
“I know I betrayed his trust but nobody would understand
it was consensual. I would have reached out to him to beg him if I think it
would solve the problem,” he said. Two days later, he was arrested by the
Nigerian police.
