A 47-year-old senior lecturer, Rasaq Kareem, was on Friday docked in an Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court for alleged sexual assault.

The police charged Kareem, who lives in Agege, Lagos with sexual assault.

The Prosecution Counsel, ASP Raji Akeem, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on Nov. 22, 2022 at the Lagos State Science and Technology, Ikorodu, Lagos,

Akeem said that the complainant, 19, went to the defendant‘s office to submit an assignment and he shut the door.
