Lecturer Suspended Over S3xual Harassment Turns Bus Conductor In Rivers

A former lecturer at the Captain Elechi Amadi Polytechnic, Port Harcourt, Rivers State has been spotted on the street working as a bus conductor.

Naija News learnt that Zoe Solomon Tamunotonye was suspended from the tertiary institution months ago over alleged s3xual harassment of a female student.

Solomon’s travail started after a panel set up by the institution confirmed in their report that he s3xually harassed a lady from the institution and had her detained at the Sani Abacha Road Police Station in Port Harcourt.

The lecturer according to the report, again turned against the lady and accused her of diverting the sum of N250,000 he gave her for her personnel business and holding on to his office key and other property.

The Polytechnic in March 2022 issued an official statement that Solomon was found culpable in the allegation of misconduct and harassment of the female student.

The statement, which was signed by the Registrar, Chris Woke, gave him up to May 31, 2022, to write an apology letter to the institution and also undertake in writing to be of good conduct.

The lecturer, however, failed to apologise, standing by his claim that he committed no offence to necessitate an apology.

Naija News learnt that the student was later released by the Sani Abacha Road Police Station, following the intervention of the Commissioner of Police, Eboka Friday, who after listening to the parties involved realized that the lecture’s allegation lacked merit.

It was revealed also that the institution refused to pay him salary for the past six months since the conclusion of the incident.

Solomon was spotted in a viral video on social media beckoning passengers to enter a commercial bus along Ikwerre Road in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.
