Lecturer arrested for pestering married woman for sex to secure admission
A former lecturer at the Nasarawa State University, Dr. Mohammed Yau Baire, has been arrested over allegations that he demanded sex from a married woman to enable her gain admission into the institution.
Baire’s alleged victim, Hajiya Halimat Abubakar Bashiru, said he started calling her for sexual favours after she went to the school to seek admission.
“After my husband introduced me to one of his brothers at the university, he asked me about the course I wanted to study and I told him computer science, after which he requested for my phone number for easy communication,” she is quoted as saying.
“But after that, Dr. Baire started calling me saying that he is interested in having me as a lover. Before I told my husband, he asked me out and I told him to meet me at my house so if he has anything to tell me, he can say it before my husband, but he insisted that we should meet.
Baire, who lectured in the Department of Information Technology, was said to have expressed regrets for his actions.
“Actually, I approached her that I wanted to be in love with her despite the fact that she is married to a prominent person that I know,” he reportedly said.
“I told her that all I needed was for her to succumb to me and then she will have the admission at the university,” he said.
He is reportedly being held at the Goshen Police Station in Karu, Nasarawa.
