A final year student of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN), Salaudeen Waliu Aanuoluwa aka Captain Walz have spoken on why he beat his project supervisor, Mrs Zakariyyah to coma.
Speaking to University Campus Journalist, Salaudeen claimed to have gone to the office of the female lecturer to beg her to help wave the mandatory Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) course which he missed due to unforeseen circumstances.
He claimed to have met the victim numerous times, but all led to negative responses before the last Thursday (November 11)assault on the lecturer.
Waliu claimed that “months before the incident with his lecturer, he was arrested and locked up for two months, thereby warranting his inability to attend SIWES duties.”
Further in his narration, he said he had gone to Allen Avenue in Ikeja, Lagos State, to meet a friend for the first time. He was waiting for the friend when he “felt the urge to urinate.”
Salaudeen said he urinated near a car parked by drainage when he was challenged by someone who must have washed the car.
He said he was accused of being a thief and was not allowed to explain himself before a mob descended on him, and handed him over to the police which led to his detention for a period of two months.
After the incident in Lagos, he approached Mrs Zakariyau to explain to her his ordeal but the lecturer said there was no help to offer, except he joined the next set which would result in an extra year.
He said on the fateful Thursday when he entered the lecturer’s office, she ordered him out of her office.
”I got angry, I don’t know what came over me, I started arguing and she told me to leave her office, I told her if I don’t leave, what is she going to do?
“She then threw a mug at me which injured me and I started beating her.
” I dragged her out and she ran. I chased and kept beating her before people came. I tried to run but was later caught by the school security”.
