The management of the University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State has dismissed a viral video of an alleged lecturer of the institution sexually harassing a female student.
Naija News reports that some people claimed that the incident had happened in one of the offices of the Microbiology department of UNIPORT.
However, the Public Relations Officer of UNIPORT, Sam Kpenu, in a statement on Monday evening, disclosed that the incident is purely a case of misrepresentation as its faculty of Microbiology, Department of Microbiology is upstairs.
He further revealed that Rivers State University TV released the video as such an incident did not happen at the University of Port-Harcourt.
The statement read; “If you look at the video, the video was released by the Rivers State University TV – RSUTV Video. If you look at the video you will see the inscription RSUTV. So it has nothing to do with the University of Port-Harcourt.
“It is purely misrepresentation and then our faculty of Microbiology, Department of Microbiology is upstairs but if you look at the video you can see outside with grasses. So our microbiology is upstairs, it is in three three-story building upstairs, so we don’t have such a thing in our university.
“That’s why we are not in a hurry to respond to the video. It is the Rivers State University TV that released that, so that thing did not happen at the University of Port-Harcourt. The video is fake and was released by the Rivers State University TV. We never recorded such an incident in our university.”
