A Senior Lecturer at the Archeology Department of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, UNN, has been arrested by the Police for allegedly impregnating a student and going ahead to threaten her life.

The lecturer, Dr. Chigozie Odum, was alleged to have put the female student, Onah Chinyere, in a family way after coercing her into a sexual intercourse.

It was gathered that following a petition from the family lawyer of the female student, men of the Crack Squad, Enugu State Police Command picked up the lecturer in Nsukka from where he was moved to Enugu.

According to the petition, “It is our client’s instruction that she has been a student in the Archeology and Tourism Department, Faculty of Arts, University of Nigeria, Nsukka”.
“According to her instructions, Dr. Odum Chigozie Jude is one of the lecturers in the said department.”
“Our brief further showed that the said Dr. Odum Jude went and approached our client and demanded to be sleeping with her and threatened our client that if she refuses, she will never graduate from the said department.”

“He further threatened her that he was a cultist while in school and that up till today he still has a good number of them under his payroll. He, therefore, warned our client to comply with his demands and requests in her own interest.”

“Our information further showed that he called our client to his house and forcefully had sexual intercourse with her” the petition stated.
