The management of Oduduwa Polytechnic in Lagos has disputed a media report linking one of its lecturers to extorting a female student and withholding her results.
According to the report, a student accused a lecturer at the university of extortion and a premeditated attempt to prevent her graduation from school.
While a newspaper reported that the student in question was a student at Oduduwa Polytechnic in Lagos, the institution’s management denied the report, stating that they did not have the student’s or lecturer’s records.
The Institution in a statement stated that contrary to what was published in the newspaper, “Our institution, Oduduwa Polytechnic had nothing to do with the said story.
“We don’t have any record of both the staff and the student in our database.
“We, therefore, implore the members of the public to disregard the said story as it had nothing to do with our institution.”
Shedding more light on the report, the management of the institution said, contrary to the report, Oduduwa Polytechnic is in Lagos, not in Ile-Ife, Osun State as reported by the newspaper.
“Also, the picture that was used in illustrating the story is that of the Oduduwa Polytechnic, Lagos, while the report said the affected student was a student of Oduduwa Polytechnic, Ile,-Ife, ” the institution said.
