Some points for your consideration.
1. Did you see evidence that the students tied the Prof's hands and legs and carried him screaming to the girls room? Growing up in your part of Nigeria, have you forgotten that part of the protocols of blame, discipline, and punish would have our parents and elders reprimand us for even being in the compromising neighbourhood of the cookie jar in the first place. Some of ur friends are caught stealing, you run home proclaiming your innocence. Your father's first question: what were you doing in the environment of theft to begin with? Do you get my drift Egbon Rotimi?
2. Listen to the dialogue very very carefully and place everything you hear in the context of campus diction in Nigeria. When Judith says something like you failed me the first time. You should have let me go but you wanted me to do it again so that you can f..ck. The Prof replies: I did not know your number that time. Egbon Rotimi, what do you think they are saying? They are both using what we call let my people go in Nigerian universities. Judith is saying: you should just have passed me thevfurst time as we say in Nigerian English. The professor is saying: I didn't know your student number then.
Think about these two points before you absolve the Prof of any responsibility. For me, all parties are guilty.
