Faith Adegoke, a 200-level student at the University of Ibadan’s Faculty of Law, has alledgedly sexually assaulted a 100-level student on campus.
Information gathered indicated that the 17-year-old law faculty public relations officer had reportedly committed the crime against the fresh student who had gone out with other girls for night reading to get ready for her exams.
According to report, when the lights went out in the lecture hall where the victim was reading, it was said that she left to take a nap at the student union building, when the suspect sexually assaulted her.
While narrating her ordeal, the victim said she woke up at a touch and attempted to scream but the suspect held her neck down and rendered her voiceless but luck, however, shone on her when a student walked in and the suspect fled.
It was also reported that the victim sustained injuries on her neck and lips due to a bite.
The Public Relations Officer, University of Ibadan, Mrs Adejoke Akinpelu, when reached to react to the development, didn’t pick up her call while message sent to her was delivered and awaiting response as of press time.
Also, the Students Union President of the School, Samuel Samson, in a statement, barred the suspect from the Students union building indefinitely.
It’s bad that you didn’t do a proper investigation for verifiability, it’s worse that you decided to make this case grave by the unverified article you just published. Be it popularity or wide acceptance, whatever reason that made you publish this violates the ethics of professionalism.
I’m very disappointed with this. The headline condemns the suspect even though a court has not done so. Does the writer of this not know that a perpetrator of an act is a suspect until a court has proven him guilty? This is embarrassing as an aspiring pressman.
Change.
