'It Wasn’t Me, I Used C0ndôm' – Lecturer Accused Of Impregnating His Student Speaks

Punch has reached to Adu,the lecturer accused
of impregnating his student to appeal to him to raise the N50,000 for the baby things, he said he had no money
and would not borrow because Mosunmola had turned him to a “cash cow.”

He said he had already informed his wife about the incident, adding that there was nothing that could surprise him again as he had lost his
credibility over the incident.

Adu said,
“She was one of my students; but on a personal level, I never knew her until
after they released her final results and she failed some courses, including mine.
“Her HOD asked her to come and ask me if I could waive the course for her.
She called me on the phone and came to see me in the office.

That was my
first contact with this lady. When she made her request, I met her HOD who
said I should assist her. He said even if I did, she might not sit for the board exam because of the other courses she failed.
So, I passed her.
“When they sat for the board exam, I was surprised to see her and I asked her
HOD why she wrote the exam when she
had other courses she failed. He said people begged for her.

“After the board exam, she came to
thank me for the assistance and she
asked to carry my bag and the
instruments I used to conduct the exam.
By the time she was leaving, I collected
my bag from her, but I forgot my
instruments with her.
“That day, I went to hang out with my
friend at the pool of a hotel where we
lodged. Suddenly, I remembered my
instruments and I called her to keep them well. But she said she could come
to where I was and she came. After dropping the instruments, she didn’t
leave as I expected and I decided not to bother her.
“We were together at the hotel till
evening. One thing led to the other. My
brother, she slept in my room that night
and we had (sexual) intercourse. This
was a girl I never dated or had any
relationship with.”
He said by weekend, Mosunmola called him that
she was pregnant, adding that she later said
she was only joking about it and wanted to see
his reaction.
Adu said the call made him to stop
communicating with Mosunmola and he did not
respond anytime she called, until she sent him a
text message saying the pregnancy had become
real.

He said,
“I decided to travel down to Ijebu to see
her. She brought out the test result and
said I was responsible. I told her I used
a condom and she couldn’t tell me that
my condom burst. She said if I was
afraid because I was married, I should
not bother because the pregnancy
actually belonged to her boyfriend and
she merely wanted to see my reaction. I warned her and left.
“The next time she called me, she said
how would she take my pregnancy to her
boyfriend, and that I should take
responsibility for it. She said she would
abort the pregnancy if I wanted her to,
but I must rent a house for her in Ijebu
Ode and then she described the kind of
house she wanted.
“When I heard that, I told her to do her
worst, because it was obvious to me that she just wanted to blackmail me.
She had been going round different places, telling people that I impregnated
her. The question I ask is, did I rape her?
Did I hypnotise her? You came to meet
me where I was and we had fun, and
now you are pregnant, and you are
telling me I am responsible for a
pregnancy I am denying?”
He said before Mosunmola could reach his wife,
he quickly reported himself to her and begged
for her forgiveness.
The medical practitioner said he reluctantly
agreed to pay the N5,000 after much
persuasion by the human rights lawyer, adding
that he regretted the agreement because
Mosunmola used it to make more demands on
him.
“When she brought the list for the baby
things, I asked her, ‘Why are you making
me as if I am the father of your baby?
Am I your husband?
“She suddenly flared up and said I should
even go away that she didn’t want
anything from me again. She cursed me
and after that encounter, I decided to
stop giving her anything,” he added.
He said Mosunmola came to attack him during
the lecture. He said she was about stripping
him naked when he forcefully detached himself
from her.
Adu explained that the case of assault against
him at the Ilese division had been thrown out
after he told the police the student was the
aggressor.

“People impregnate people and nothing happens. Why is she treating me as if I
had done something criminal?
“The worst that will happen now is for
me to die. I am not a young man; if I die,
people will cry and I will be done.
“But I also ask myself, what if the
pregnancy is mine? My prayer now is for
her to deliver safely and we will
determine the paternity of the child,” he
said.

The Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer,
Abimbola Oyeyemi, said he would get back to
our corrrespondent after speaking with the Ilese
DPO.
He is yet to do so as of the time of filing this report.
