The Federal Polytechnic Nekede, Owerri’s Technical Entrepreneurship Development Centre (TEDC), has suspended one of its lecturers, Mr Okoroafor Ifeanyichukwu, for assaulting a student.
This came after the lecturer was caught on camera slapping and kicking a reportedly ailing male student on the campus
In a trending video on Thursday, Mr Okoroafor charged towards the male student, slapped and kicked him off the ground causing the boy to land heavily on his back.
It was gathered that the teacher acted angrily after the student came to his class late and tried to mark attendance.
The teacher’s action has sparked outrage on social media since Thursday.
In a memo signed by Engr Dr. Okoye PC, TEDC’s director, and dated Friday, March 14, it was stated that Okoroafor remains suspended pending the outcome of an investigation into the incident.
