Dr. Akin Baruwa, a lecturer in the Department of Accounting, University of Lagos (Unilag), who was arraigned before an Ikeja Magistrate’s Court on Thursday for raping an 18-year-old, who sought admission into the university, has said that the act was mutual.
Dr. Baruwa, a father-of-two and a friend of his victim’s father is a chairman of one of the community development committees at Abesan Estate in Mosan/Okunola Local Council Development Area.
On July 23, 2015, the randy lecturer reportedly raped his victim in his office. It was said that the victim’s father who happens to be Dr. Baruwa’s friend, and neighbour, sought his assistance in helping his daughter to gain admission into Unilag.
The daughter scored 211 in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, and her score fell short of the requirement for Mass Communication, which was her choice.
It was reported that Dr. Baruwa ended up raping the victim(name withheld).
But in an interview the troubled lecturer granted Punch, he denied raping the teenage girl. Rather, he said was seduced by the girl.
He said, “I swear to God that the girl agreed to everything that happened. She was a chatty girl, who did not show any shyness.
“When she was in my office, she was the one telling me to be free with her. I realised that I needed to lie down a little and did not want my shirt to be rumpled. When I pulled it off, she even told me not to mind her presence that since it was my office, I could do whatever I wanted.
“When we first got to the office, she lay on my chest and was even playing with my manhood. That was why I could not resist it. After we came back from seeing the woman who was supposed to help with her admission, she was about to go when I told her to give me a hug. It was that which now led to the actual sexual encounter.
“When I realised that I could not resist her, I had to tell her to let me put on a condom. The truth is that, while I was putting on a condom, she stood by and waited. I did not actually penetrate. When she was saying ‘it’s enough, it’s enough’ and complaining that her tummy had started hurting her, I stopped.”
