A 100-level student of the department of English Language in the College of Education, Ikere-Ekiti, Ekiti State, has been disgraced and handed over to the police after the boxers belonging to his classmate was found tied with charms inside his wardrobe in the school hostel on Monday January 28th.
According to students in the school, the boxers
belonged to the representative of Pace Setters Hall of Residence Comrade
Akinola Ayomide, popularly known as Mayegun. The underpants were found
with Tunde, but popularly known as Zacchaeus
The students claim Zacchaeus is an internet fraudster, also referred to as yahoo yahoo, due to his questionable lifestyle.
Zacchaeus
according to his classmates had boasted that he would buy a car before
the year ends. There have been cases of missing boxes prior to when he
was apprehended but the students had always found the missing boxers.
“We
didn’t trust Zaccheus from the beginning. Lately, he has been singing
around that he will purchase a car before the end of this year. One of
us, who kept his piano in the wardrobe, wanted to take it out when he,
unfortunately, saw the calabash hidden inside the wardrobe. On checking
it, he found the male underpants of Mayegun. He was able to recognise it
because the male underpant has a hole. Mayegun had complained that the
underpant had loosened and become too big for him before it disappeared.
He called on us and we saw the boxer along with schnapps and other
fetish items wrapped around it. When we searched the wardrobe further,
we discovered two other underwear.
“This provoked other residents
of the hostel who resorted to demonstration. The angry students
descended on Zacchaeus and almost beat him to a pulp. Zacchaeus was on
the verge of being set ablaze when he was rescued by the porters in the
residence, who immediately got in touch with the Director of Students’
Affairs, who in turn, called the security personnel. The Directorate of
Students’Affairs, the security personnel, and student representative
bodies immediately rushed, to the scene to control the situation” a
student of the school told The Nation
The victim who was beyond shock, said
I
went to town yesterday and on my way back, I saw one of my friends who
pointedly told me: ‘You have been used’. I couldn’t understand this
until I was taken to the room of Zacchaeus where I saw my underwear in a
kind of calabash along with schnapps and some fetish items wrapped
around it. I could hardly wait for Zacchaeus’ arrival and I asked him
how my underwear got to his wardrobe along with those charms. He tried
to escape, but we chased and grabbed him
The Director of
Student Affairs in the school, Charles Egunjobi, described the
incidence as ‘unbelievable and unexpected’, promising that management
would treat the matter with despatch.
This is really
unusual of the school. The management has issued a directive that the
guy should be handed over to the police. As you can see, the police from
the Ikere-Ekiti Area Command are here. Next time, when students are
involved in a situation like this, I expect them find a lasting solution
through non-violent means. The students aren’t supposed to make a noise
or take laws into their hands
