Meanwhile, the university’s Public Relations Officer, Otunba Mike Ade Aladenika, confirmed Uwuigbe’s identity as a staff of the institution, but said the incident occurred outside the campus.
“We are not denying that he is our staff, but whatever he did and what happened, it is his private life. The girl in question is not our student, and everything happened outside our institution,” he said.
