ABU Students Pour Acid on Lecturers

Police in Kogi State are working  to unearth the students who bathed two lecturers with acid at the Kabba campus of the College of Agriculture, a division of the Agricultural College, Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria.

Investigation revealed that the two lecturers of the institution were, penultimate Friday, attacked by some of their students at their residence, following their insistence not to allow the students to write their first semester examination since they could not meet the stipulated 75 per cent attendance.

The lecturers, Dr Peter Tunku and Mr. Fidelis Dutse of the Departments of Crop Production Technology and Agricultural Extension and Management respectively, were said to have been rushed to the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital for treatment.

Another lecturer, Mrs, I. I. Adedibu, was said to have fled the campus after receiving a threat message.”

Mrs Adedibu’s offence, according to sources,  may not be unconnected with her role as the chairman of the  examination malpractices committee, instituted by the school authorities to unravel those who invaded the school in August  to disrupt examination.

The two lecturers were described as hardliners of the institution’s rules and regulations, particularly those relating to examination conduct.

Confirming the incident on phone, the provost of the college, Dr Stephen Abolusoro, said the police had already arrested two suspects in connection with the attack and threat.

The state police spokesman, Abubakar Mohammed, however, declined comments, but a police official, who craved anonymity, confirmed the incident and the arrests.
