Sex scandal rocks Cape Coast Poly

 

Both the Daily Graphic and the Ghanaian Times give front page treatment to a sex scandal that has Rocked the Cape Coast Polytechnic.

The Graphic reports that the Cape Coast Polytechnic has been rocked by an alleged sex scandal involving some senior lecturers which has adversely affected discipline and academic work. The Ghanaian Times on the other hand reports simply that the Cape Coast Polytechnic has been rocked by sex scandal and maladministration.

The Times goes on to say that this has created tension on the campus between some lecturer protesters and the students on one hand, and the offending lecturers and the school authorities on the other.

The Graphic in its account says some of the lecturers are alleged to have shown exotic pornographic films on computers to unsuspecting students, particularly females and thereby succeeding in having sex with them. The paper says these alleged indecent affairs are said to have happened during lecture periods in the offices of the lecturers.

The Graphic reports Mr Tommy Madichie, Head of the Civil Engineering Department as making the allegation at a press conference at Cape Coast at which he called for a probe into the scandal to forestall a possible revolt by the students.

The Times says the lecturers and staff involved in the scandal are said to have installed programmes on pornographic materials in some of the institution?s computers in their offices and invited unsuspecting students to view. After showing the films to the students, the lecturers sexually harass them.

The paper says one of the lecturer protesters of the Polytechnic, Mr Tommy Madichie, Head of the Building and Civil Engineering Department, who was abhorred by what was happening, exposed the activities at a press conference at Cape Coast yesterday.
