Drama as HOD is Caught in Trap and Beaten After Allegedly Demanding Sex for Grades

 A major scandal is rocking the academic community after a Head of Department (HOD) was caught in a sting operation organized by a married student and her husband. A viral video circulating online shows the senior lecturer crying for mercy while being flogged.

The accused lecturer, who serves as the HOD of History and International Studies at Northwest University (formerly Yusuf Maitama University) and a visiting lecturer at Mariam Abacha American University Nigeria (MAAUN), allegedly held back a married female student's project for two years because she refused his advances.

The Setup and Arrest

Tired of the constant frustration, the student informed her husband about the ongoing harassment, leading the couple to set a trap.

• The Appointment: Reports and leaked chat logs reveal that the lecturer allegedly scheduled a rendezvous with the student right after Maghrib prayers to trade project approval for intimacy.

• The Ambush: Instead of meeting the student alone, the lecturer was confronted by the woman's husband and a group of individuals who were waiting at the agreed location.

• The Outcome: The university official was severely beaten on camera before being handed over to the police for further investigation.

This shocking incident has sparked intense discussions online regarding the widespread issue of sex-for-grades in higher institutions.
