A 20-year-old student of the University of Lagos on Wednesday narrated to a Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja how a 53-year-old lecturer of the school, Samuel Obinna Ojogbo, allegedly assaulted her in his office.
The student gave the account before Justice Oyindamola Ogala while testifying as the first prosecution witness in the ongoing trial of Ojogbo.
The Lagos State Government is prosecuting Ojogbo on a two-count charge of rape and sexual assault.
Led in evidence-in-chief by the prosecution counsel, A.O. Azeez, the witness said the incident occurred on August 22, 2025, at about 1200hours, at the university’s Akoka campus.
When the victim entered the witness box, she began by introducing herself: “I am a student of the University of Lagos.”
She recalled that a day before the incident, while writing an examination, the defendant approached her.
The victim stated, “Prior to the 22nd of August, 2025, on the 21st of August, I was writing an exam not related to banking.
