The management of Ignatius Ajuru University of Education in Rivers state, has suspended a senior lecturer, Dr. Rowland Igwe, for allegedly impregnating a student of the institution.
A statement signed by the vice chancellor of the university, Prof. Ozo-Mekuri Ndimele on Friday said Dr. Igwe, who of the Department of Sociology would embark on indefinite suspension until the committee, constituted to investigate the allegation submits its report.
“Igwe’s suspension is hinged on an allegation of serial intimidation, sexual harassment and undue canal knowledge of a female undergraduate, which resulted in her being impregnated and suffering health complications,” the statement reads in part.
He added that the Council-Senate Committee on Staff Disciplinary Matters of the University will investigate the matter.
