A man, Ja’afaru Buba, has formally lodged a complaint with the Vice-Chancellor of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission in respect of the allegations of sexual misconduct he has leveled against a lecturer at the university, Dr. Usman Mohammed Aliyu.

Ja’afaru Buba alleged  that the lecturer in question harassed his wife , Kamila over her refusal to have secret affairs with him.

He noted that his lawyers have taken necessary steps in respect of the petition while disclosing that after filing the petition, the university’s management had promised to investigate and ensure that justice is done over the matter.

Dr. Usman Mohammed Aliyu has however filed a suit at the Bauchi State High Court, alleging defamation of character.

‘We hereby forward this complaint to you on for and behalf of our client, Kamila Rufa ‘i of the Chemical Engineering Department, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi against Usman Mohammed, a lecturer, in the Department of Chemical Engineering.

That our client is an M.Eng. Chemical Engineering Student of the University, wherein Usman Mohammed taught her CHE 635 (polymer processing and its application) and now teaching her 656 (Fluidisation).

However, it is in view of the student-lecturer relationship, the said Usman Mohammed took advantage of harassing our client sexually.

At several times and without lawful justification, he invited her to his office and also sent to her, unbecoming love messages through Whatsapp despite knowing that our client is a married woman.

It’s pertinent for you to know that our client did not honour any of his invitations.

Due to the resistance of our client, the said Usman Mohammed informed our client’s friends that he would fail her in this examination as she will not graduate as an M.Eng. student from the university.

He also, on a personal basis, informed our client of the same threat because of her resistance to having sex with him.

That the conduct of Usman Mohammed is against the university laws and conditions of service’ the complainant had submitted in the petition filed on his behalf by Barrister Mohammed Sani.

The petitioner urged the management of ATBU to conduct discrete investigations into the matter and sanction Usman Mohammed in accordance with the university’s law and condition of service in order to discourage other lecturers from getting involved in such a thing.

Team@orientactualmags.com  learned that Dr Usman Aliyu Mohammed, has however denied the allegations raised against him.
