Five people, including a seven-year-old girl, were killed in a crush on board a boat crossing the Channel.
The boat was carrying 112 people at the time of the tragedy. A lecturer at one of Nigeria's leading universities - the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) - has been suspended following allegations that he sexually harassed a female student, a statement by the university has said.
Speaking after the arrest, National Crime Agency (NCA) Director of Investigations Craig Turner said: "This tragic incident once again demonstrates the threat to life posed by these crossings and brings into focus why it is so important to target the criminal gangs involved in organising them." The move comes after a video went viral on social media, showing a man in only his shorts and trying to hide his face as he is confronted by people in what appears to be an office.
Officers have already conducted initial interviews with the men, who are aged 19 and 22. In the video, a person says: “We have been following this case from day one, we have tracks, all the voice notes, and everything.”
Further interrogations will follow in the coming days. Another one says. “A married woman for that matter, someone’s wife.”

He has not yet commented.
"For the record, the University of Nigeria has zero tolerance for sexual misconduct involving our staff and students,” the university statement said.
“As a university, we are committed to protecting our students from any form of abuse and exploitation,” it added.
