A lecturer suspected to be a Catholic priest was reportedly assaulted by angry students after he was allegedly caught engaging in a sexual act with a female student inside a classroom at Tansian University.

The incident, which reportedly happened on the university campus in Oba, Anambra State, has triggered widespread reactions online after videos from the scene surfaced on social media.

Students storm classroom amid allegations

In one of the trending videos, the man was seen surrounded by a crowd of students who allegedly beat him and tore his clothes during the confrontation.

Witnesses at the scene could be heard shouting accusations linked to the clergy, although the identity and official status of the lecturer have not been independently confirmed.

Sources within the institution claimed the confrontation may have followed what students described as a planned effort to expose the lecturer over alleged misconduct.

“It seems they finally decided to catch him in the act,” a student reportedly told SaharaReporters anonymously.

Claims of previous complaints emerge

According to student sources, there had allegedly been previous complaints from female students concerning inappropriate behaviour and advances linked to the lecturer.

However, neither the university management nor Catholic Church authorities have officially confirmed the allegations or identified the man involved.

As of the time of filing this report, no official statement had been issued regarding possible disciplinary action or the status of the female student involved in the incident.

Police yet to react

The Anambra State Police Command has also not confirmed whether any arrests were made following the mob action.

The incident has since sparked mixed reactions online, with some Nigerians condemning the alleged misconduct, while others criticised the violent assault carried out by the students.
