Federal University Ndufu Alike Ikwo, AE-FUNAI, yesterday tasked the Nigeria
police to treat one of their member, Dr Felix Anyaegbunam who was accused of
rape fairly.
The group made this known in a statement signed by its
chairperson, Ogugua Egwu and made available to journalists in Abakaliki, Ebonyi
State.
The statement said “The attention of the Academic Staff
Union of Universities (ASUU AE-FUNAI Branch, has been drawn to a news item that
has gone viral concerning an academic staff of Alex Ekwueme Federal University,
Ndufu Alike Ikwo, Ebonyi State, Dr Felix Anyaegbunam over allegations bordering
on rape.
“ASUU AE-FUNAI Branch views as unfortunate, the media trial
to which Dr. Anyaegbunam has been subjected even before a proper investigation
has been conducted on the matter.
“As a Union committed to the ideals of discipline and
ethical conduct of its members, ASUU urges the security agencies and the
appropriate agencies of government to follow due process in dispassionately
investigating the allegations and ensuring a fair trial of the suspect having
regard to his presumption of innocence until otherwise established.
ASUU AE-FUNAI Branch urged her members, stakeholders and the
general public to remain calm while the due process of the law takes its
course.
