Another former student of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Benin (UNIBEN) has accused the head of the department, Prof. Tony Asekhauno, of rape.
In a statement on X on Sunday, Alex Vivy Nnabue alleged that Asekhauno raped her in his office after repeatedly failing her in his course.
Asekhauno had previously been accused of sexual harassment by his former student, Mercy McQuin.
In a statement on X on Monday, McQuin disclosed that the alleged randy lecturer refused to mark her exam script, demanding sexual gratification.
However, in Miss Nnabue’s case, she alleged he raped her in his office in her final year after failing her three times.
“Tony Asekhauno failed my Logic deliberately three times until he raped me in his office in my final year and gave me a C. I kept failing because I refused to date him.”
She also added, “Days after he raped me, he saw me in a hall with a group of people and asked if it was because he slept with me that I was looking at him.”
She also alleged that the Asekhauno instructed her to book a hotel room for him to spend ‘quality time’ with her, which she outrightly refused.
“If I was not bold and slightly courageous, he also asked me to book a hotel, and I asked, ‘With which money?”
“If I have anything to say about it, he will die in pain. The things he did to me in that office and the people that enabled his tyranny for years will die painfully and miserably,” Miss Nnabue added.
