The Vice-Chancellor of the Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED), Ijagun, Ogun State, Prof Wole Banjo, allegedly ordered soldiers to the campus after students deflated the car tyres of a dean who sexually assaulted a female student, SaharaReporters has learnt.
SaharaReporters gathered that the boyfriend of the assaulted female student mobilised other students to “deal with” the randy dean by deflating his car tyres after the senior lecturer spanked the buttocks of his girlfriend.
Insiders in the institution added that the action of the students angered the dean who informed the VC who in turn invited soldiers to the campus to search for the students and brutalise them.
One of the sources said, “Students are still being brutalised in TASUED. This is what actually happened; a dean spanked the buttocks of a female student. Then the boyfriend of the girl got upset and went to destroy the car tyres of the dean. The dean then reported to the VC who called soldiers to the school premises to harass students with cars.
