Part time lecturer, Dr. Baruwa, accused of raping a minor seeking admission into the university of Lagos has stuck to his gun that the act was consensual. The lecturer, who’s in his early 40s, said he made the mistake of not doing enough to resist the temptation of ‘sleeping’ with Shola.
“I swear to God that the girl agreed to everything that happened.
She was a chatty girl, who did not show any shyness.“It is true that I took her to YABATECH and showed her places. What is not true is that I deliberately took off from home because of any plan to do anything bad to her. I took off from home that early to avoid traffic.
“When she was in my office, she was the one telling me to be free with her. I realised that I needed to lie down a little and did not want my shirt to be rumpled. When I pulled it off, she even told me not to mind her presence that since it was my office, I could do whatever I wanted.
“When we first got to the office, she lay on my chest and was even playing with my manhood. That was why I could not resist it. After we came back from seeing the woman who was supposed to help with her admission, she was about to go when I told her to give me a hug. It was that which now led to the actual sexual encounter.
“When I realised that I could not resist her, I had to tell her to let me put on a condom. The truth is that, while I was putting on a condom, she stood by and waited. I did not actually penetrate. When she was saying ‘it’s enough, it’s enough’ and complaining that her tummy had started hurting her, I stopped.”
Baruwa explained that Shola’s father had sent a cryptic text message to him (days later when he learnt of what happened to his daughter), saying that he had learnt of what he did to his daughter.
“I know I betrayed his trust but nobody would understand it was consensual. I would have reached out to him to beg him if I think it would solve the problem,” he said.
When told that Shola went through excruciating abdominal pain for more than a week, Baruwa explained that if she had shown any sign of hurt on the day of the intercourse, he would have reached out to her to find out how she was doing.
