Investigation Begins As OAU Lecturer Assaults Student

The management of Obafemi Awolowo University has initiated an investigation into an altercation involving a male student and a lecturer of the university.


The Student, known as Gift, a 200-level student was said to have mistaken the class for the one he was to attend and upon realising this, he quickly made attempts to exit the class when the lecturer called him back.

A student, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the lecturer engaged the student in an argument, which eventually degenerated into a scuffle.


“He thought the class was meant for him as well. When he saw that the faces in the class were strange, he quickly dashed out. The lecturer then called him back. After a while, we discovered that the lecturer invited the security personnel to take the student. He also dragged the student’s phone,” the source said.

The Students' Union spokesperson, Elijah Omisore, strongly condemned the incident and demanded the prosecution of the lecturer. The union narrated the incident in a statement, stating that Gift had mistakenly entered the class and was later assaulted by Dr. Ariyo.

The university's Public Relations Officer, Abiodun Olarewaju, also condemned the lecturer's actions and stated that an administrative probe had been initiated. 

The Vice-Chancellor expressed his displeasure with the incident and called for calm among the students while the university investigates the matter. The university aims to make its findings known after the investigation, and they have engaged the relevant faculty and department heads.
