Posted by Thandiubani on Thu 23rd Nov, 2023 - tori.ngHe said that the ICPC considers s3xual harassment to be a corrupt practice, thus victims must be aware of their rights and how to seek justice.
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has issued warning to Nigerians.
ICPC warned that s3xual harassment is now a corrupt practice that can result in a seven-year prison sentence.
Mr Clifford Oparaodu, the Commission’s Secretary, issued the warning in Abuja during a One Day Sensitization Workshop on S3xual Harassment in Tertiary Institutions.
He said that the ICPC considers s3xual harassment to be a corrupt practice, thus victims must be aware of their rights and how to seek justice.
He expressed concern that s3xual enjoyment had become “illegal tender” in many institutions.
“S3xual harassment is a form of corruption.
“It is a deviation from the norm for an official to use his/her office or position to demand, receive, obtain, or attempt to obtain any form of s3xual gratification for him to perform his duties.
“Ideally, official duties ought to be carried out with integrity, good conscience, and diligence without the expectation of any unlawful benefit,” he said.
