UNILAG LECTURERS BRUTALLY STABBED A POST GRADUATE STUDENT TO TRAUMA

Two lecturers in the University of Lagos are alleged to have stabbed to coma a post graduate student of the university on Wednesday after a minor misunderstanding.

The student Jimi Fatunbe who is currently running his masters in English Language said he was beaten and stabbed by the two lecturers Dr Babawale Taiwo of Maths Statistics and Dr Israel Abiala of Social Science departments after a disagreement with parking space of his car.

Jimi who stays in the school hostel added that "I went out to repack my car since it was getting late, i noticed a car was behind mine,one of the lecturer got out and started commanding me to move my car from where i just parked it, i got out from my vehicle to talk to them like learned men but they started beating me, I was stabbed on my face,i don't know what one of them used, i didn't see the sharp object coming, i only felt the penetration on my face,just closer to my right eye,i screamed and that was the last thing i knew until i regain consciousness at the school medical hospital. I was told some students rushed me there".

A Student and Course mate of Jim who was among those that took him to the hospital expressed disappointment about the behavior of the lecturers who are supposed to always be role models in the society. "It is a shame that these very lecturers who are even both Doctorate holders stoop so low to fight like touts within the school compound,it can only remind me of how mental domain of learning is just the focus now in school. A man who is really learned in all three domains would have control over his emotions, moreover as a teacher you are trained to control your emotion,maybe they were drunk as most of them often are once it get to evening hours." 

Some students advise jim to be careful as the car parking was just staged to carry out their intentions. however others blamed Jim for occupying the parking space of his lecturers as it shows no respects and should have not challenge them because before a fight there is a challenge but however no challenge is worth a fight. They added that this misunderstanding was just the least among others in the university. 

The matter was reported to the school management and a deliberation would be made concerning the incident but friends and family of Jim fear if really justice would take his course considering the fighting skills of the lecturers.
