Category: Nigeria News


The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission has warned members of the university community over s3xual harassment on campuses.

The ICPC said sexual harassment is a corrupt practice that attracts imprisonment terms of not less than seven years.

The Secretary to the Commission, Mr. Clifford Oparaodu, gave the warning in Abuja at a “One Day Sensitization Workshop on Sexual Harassment in Tertiary Institutions” on Wednesday.

Oparaodu said that the ICPC regarded sexual harassment as a corrupt practice; hence, there was a need for victims to know their rights and how to seek justice.

He expressed concern that sexual gratification had become a form of “illegal tender” in many institutions.

“Sexual harassment is a form of corruption,” he declared.
