A lecturer at the Benue State University in Makurdi has been caught on camera physically assaulting a student.
The lecturer is identified as Mr. Ichor Tersagh.
According to sources, Mr. Ichor Tersagh is a visiting lecturer at Benue State University (BSU) from the Department of Microbiology at Joseph Sarwuan Tarka University, Makurdi.
A video obtained by SaharaReporters shows Tersagh engaging in a physical altercation with a student, which includes slapping and striking the student on the head with his knuckles.
A source revealed that a group of students, including a 100-level student, accidentally walked into Mr. Tersagh’s lecture room, not realiding that a class was already underway.
The source said, “We 300 level students were having lecture with the man – the lawless lecturer and our 100 level students were supposed to have a lecture at the same venue.
“Normally, our class was to last for two hours, that was from 10 am to 12 am. It seems those who produced the timetable made a mistake because the 100 level students were also supposed to have a class by 11am at the same venue.
“To them, the lecture theatre should be free, so they were trooping in trying to get a space not knowing that a lecturer was still in class. That was how this man asked the young student to come back and started assaulting him physically.”
