A man on Monday, May 24, disguised as a woman and sneaked into a female hostel of the Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

Report says the man walked into the female hostel to see his girlfriend who was avoiding him.

Unfortunately for him, he was discovered, beaten and stripped by students.

A source said, the man went there to plead with his girlfriend, who allegedly seized his mobile phone when she visited him outside the campus due to his inability to fulfill promises made to her.

“He disguised like a young female student to gain access to the hostel of his female friend, who had been avoiding him after she took his phone. But luck ran out on him when his movement aroused suspicion of some of the students, who felt that something was wrong with his dressing. They mobilized, held the man and stripped him,” the source explained.

Upon the discovery, the ladies raised the alarm, which attracted their male counterparts, who descended on the man, who could have been lynched but for the intervention of the security personnel on the campus.

The President of the Students’ Union Government in the institution, Christian Amadi, who confirmed the incident, said;

“Yes, this happened around 10pm yesterday (Monday). Before we got to the place, the school security personnel had already intervened and took him into custody. The man claimed that he was not a student; I think the security personnel are still investigating the matter”.

The management of the institution had barred inter sex visits to hostels after three students allegedly gang-raped a female student in one of the men’s hostels last year, which led to the indefinite suspension of academic activities by the school.
