BBC Africa Eye Reporter, Kiki Mordi, has led the call for the management of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Osun, to take decisive action against Olabisi Olaleye, a lecturer who is accused of sexual harassment.

Motunrayo Afolayan, a 400-level student of the Department of International Relations, Faculty of Administration, says Mr Olaleye failed her in Diplomacy course with code IRS 305 during the 2017/2018 academic calendar while in 300 level.

When she sought to write the exam again in the 2018/2019 session, the lecturer continued his threats to fail her if she refuses to lay with him.

The university has placed the lecturer on half-pay pending submission of a report by the panel set up to probe the incident.

Ms Mordi, who gained popularity for her SexForGrades documentary on sexual harassment in colleges published last October, has led the call on Twitter for action against Olaleye.
