A Covenant University lecturer, Dr. Stephen Ukenna, has been arrested for raping a 17 year old student of the school (name withheld).
The lecturer from the Department of Business Management was arrested on March 11, after a complaint was lodged at Ota Area Command by the parents of the victim.

Upon the report, the Area Commander Ota, Acp Muyideen Obe swiftly deployed his JWC team to the school where the randy lecturer was promptly arrested.
