The authorities of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Osun State, on Wednesday suspended another lecturer, Monday Omo-Etan, over alleged s-exual harassment of a female student of the institution.

A statement by the institution’s Public Relations Officer, Abiodun Olarewaju, said the university management has handed over the lecturer to the police.

The statement read: “Less than three weeks after the management of OAU, Ile Ife, expressed her zero-tolerance against sexual harassment by investigating and suspending a lecturer of the Department of International Relations, Mr. Olabisi Olaleye, the university has suspended Omo-Etan, a staff of the university’s Centre for Distance Learning for s-exually molesting a 19-year-old female student.
