A lecturer at the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria was apprehended Sunday night at a private female hostel in Samaru, Zaria.
Daily
Trust gathered yesterday that the lecturer disguised by wearing Hijab
(veil) and attempted to sneak into the hostel before he was intercepted.
A
witness, Khalifa Sha’aibu, alleged that, that was not the first time
the lecturer was entering the hostel to visit his girl friend.
Sha’aibu
added: “The most annoying thing is the fact that the man used Hijab. As
a Muslim, I feel sad that somebody would use something that women of
faith are known with to perpetrate crime. I wonder why the man would not
get a hotel room to perpetrate his immoral act. It was a vigilante
member that noticed the structure of the man and exposed him.
After
he was caught, we discovered that he has been entering the hostel with
the consent of the girl. The owner of the private hostel had barred men
from entering the rooms.”
It was further gathered that the lecturer
was handed over to a team of army personnel that are manning a check
point close to the university.
Daily Trust also gathered that the officers ransacked the lecturer’s house.
When
contacted, Director of Public Affairs in the university, Dr. Ismail
Shehu, said he heard something like that but that no official report has
been made.
He added that when an official report is received, the university will take action.
“As
you know, ABU does not tolerate indiscipline. Investigation would be
carried out and both the lecturer and student would be punished
accordingly. There is no doubt about that,” he said.
