Below is a report I just received from a student
from the school. Read below...
A student of Computer Science Department
of University of Calabar name withheld
almost lost his sight after a lecturer known
as Chris Otu in the Department of
Economics, University of Calabar stabbed
him with his-car key during lecture hour.
According to an eye-withness Mr Otu was
supposed to have a class with year 3
students of Computer Science Department
by 10.am, today 21 Nov. but he failed to
appear after keeping the students waiting for
two hours, he later appeared by 12-noon.
After the lecturer's arrival, the waiting
students assembled themselves at the
lecture venue New CES building room 7
behind Unical Library.
The victimized student who is the lecturer's
class rep. took white board markers to the
lecturer (Mr. Otu) which is a regular routine
in various Universities in Nigeria. But the
lecturer for no reason premeditatedly used a
book in his hand to hit the student on his
head and as if that was not enough, he
stabbed him with his car key and walked
him out of the class.
The injury was bleeding profusely when the
lecturer who felt zero remorse told the
injured student and other students in the
class to go and ask around who he is.
Mr Chris Otu who lost one of his eyes during
a battle is believed to be an ex-cultist and
because this is Nigeria, he claims nothing
can be done to him.
Now, they decided to take the case to the media.
Hope the university authority will look into this...
