Self-styled investigative journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, has launched an attack on BBC Africa Eye Reporter, Kiki Mordi, over the latter’s documentary exposing sexual harassment in Nigerian universities.
In a groundbreaking video released on Monday, Ms Mordi went undercover to bait Dr Boniface Igbeneghu, a lecturer at the University of Lagos and pastor of the Foursquare Gospel Church.

Igbeneghu was caught on camera demanding sex to help the reporter, who posed as an admission seeker, to get into the university.
The university and the church have since suspended him.
Ms Olunloyo, who had apparently been blocked by Mordi on Twitter, then launched a series of attacks on the reporter.
According to the troubled 55-year-old, the BBC had earlier contacted her for undercover investigation work.

Knocking those comparing her to Mordi, Olunloyo claimed she has been working as a journalist for 25 years, with CNN placing a camera in her bra to go undercover at a party in 1994.
Responding, Mordi said she has unblocked Olunloyo and that someone should tell her to stop crying.

Meanwhile, Mordi has revealed that subtle threats have been made at her over the BBC video.
Speaking with Sahara Reporters, she said; “I have received subtle threats since this work was completed but I am not bothered because the BBC takes the security of employees seriously.”
