The management of the University of Benin (UNIBEN) in Edo State has inaugurated a panel to investigate the allegation of sexual harassment against a professor in the institution’s Faculty of Arts.
UNIBEN announced this in a circular issued by the secretary of the panel, B. D. Jonathan, a copy of which was obtained from the institution on Saturday, August 10, 2024.
The panel, however, did not disclose the identity of the lecturer in the circular.
It urged members of staff and students with relevant information, or anybody who might have fallen victim of the lecturer’s escapades, to come forward and share with it.
According to the panel, the information will assist the committee in ensuring a thorough and fair investigation.

“Be assured that your identity will be protected and all information will be treated with utmost confidentiality,” the panel added.
It was gathered that the university resolved to set up the investigative panel after a graduate of the university took to social media to call out the lecture.
The alumna had recounted how she allegedly suffered untold sexual harassment from the professor during her undergraduate days.
