A professor at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun state, Professor Joseph Opefeyitimi, who was accused of s£xual molestation and battery of a female student, has responded to the allegations that were made against, as he claimed that he did not rap£ the female student but, they had consensual s£x.
Information that was given made it known that a female student of the university, whose name was given as Boluwatife Hannah, dragged Opefeyitimi before a university panel last month, claiming she was violated by the professor, as she presented the pictures she took during the incident to the panel. The victim claimed that she was molested on the 18th of March, 2022 at around 1:23pm when she visited the defendant in his office.
However, while he was responding to the allegations that were made against him, the Professor of Yoruba Incantations and Stylistics at the African Language Department, in a letter he wrote to the Department’s head said that the panel should discontinue the petition because, the said student, Boluwatife Hannah, was his girlfriend and that she was the one who initiated it. He said they have both been dating before the time she got admission into the institution and he has been helping her since then.

He said that, what happened in his office on the 18th of last month was consensual but, he is surprised that the affected student reported him to the school authorities, despite the fact that the agreement between them was that, they would both get married to each other as his second wife but, she reported him because, she doesn’t want to marry him again like they both agreed.
Professor Joseph Opefeyitimi further said, the panel should discontinue the petition because, it is a plan for the victim to escape marrying him, despite the fact that he has helped her win a lot of awards in the school.
