The Covenant University has cleared the air on the rape saga and sexual harassment rocking the institution, adding that the allegations that female students of the school are being sexually harassed and raped by workers of the intuition are untrue.
Recall that some reports in some traditions and online media claimed that people accuse some workers of the institution for sexually harassing and raping female undergraduates.
A post from a concerned person concerning the rape matter on social media reads @_Otitoo, called for urgent intervention to prevent a situation that would lead to the death of a student.
The post read, “CU girls are being raped and nothing is being done about it. Do something now. We don’t want to see your candles after we lose another girl.”
The screenshot of another message that was also shared on Twitter alleged that workers of the school were raping students who broke rules of the institution, adding that a student who got pregnant for a worker got expelled.
The message read, “The staff in Covenant University are raping the students. They’ll set stupid rules and if the students should break them, they’ll sleep with them in exchange for their studentship.
“A girl is in a coma now. She did an abortion for the head of the students’ disciplinary council. He got her pregnant and still expelled her.
“So many students there are being abused. It’s a Christian University for crying out loud. Covenant University has hidden so many deaths. They’ve expelled so many students for trying to speak up for their rights.”
However, the Media officer of Covenant University who simply gave her name as Chichi noted that the social media posts about rape and harassments at the institution is false and the handiwork of mischievous persons.
Reacting on the matter she said “It’s not true. It is a very false tweet or whatever it was. The person behind it must be mischievous.”
She further explained that no female student has come out to complain about any form of harrassment or rape as painted by some persons on social media.
Covenant University is a private Christian university in Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria. It is affiliated with Living Faith Church Worldwide and is a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities, Association of African Universities, and National Universities Commission.
