LEADERSHIP reports that Mrs Kamila Rufai Aliyu, a postgraduate student of the Department of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Engineering Technology, petitioned the university management through the Department to investigate the matter last year. The student also accused Dr. Aliyu of threatening her academic success if she failed to comply with his demands.

The lecturer, having learnt about the petition against him, filed a defamation lawsuit in court against the student, the Department and the University.

But the University in its Newsletter, ATBU Herald of April 22, Vol. 39 No. 5, stated that the Governing Council of the University has dismissed Dr. Usman Mohammed Aliyu from its services.

The Newsletter reads: “In its 96th regular meeting held on Friday, 11th April, 2025, the Council approved the dismissal of Dr Aliyu for sexual harassment.”

“The letter of dismissal, served on the erring staff, follows the report of the Senior staff Disciplinary Committee that found you guilty of an indecent relationship involving a student of the University, Mrs. Kamila Rufai Aliyu of the Department of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Engineering Technology, the Council has subsequently approved your dismissal from the services of the University with immediate effect.”

The lecturer was directed to hand over all the university property in his possession to the head of the department, and his identification card was to be submitted to the university’s Chief Security Officer.
