Probe Begins After OAU Lecturer Beats Up Student Over Refusal To Switch Off Phone

Information Nigeria reports that a student identified simply as Gift, who is a 200-level student at the university, suddenly dashed into a lecture room where the lecturer, identified as Dr K.F. Ariyo, was conducting a class on Wednesday.

Sources on the campus disclosed that Gift 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.

An anonymous student said the lecturer engaged the student in an argument, which eventually degenerated into a scuffle.
