CorrectNG recalls that last year, the Imo State University, Owerri (IMSU) suspended Dr. Desmond Izunwanne, a lecturer at the Physiology Department for asaulting a pregnant student, Ukamaka.
The Deputy Registrar Head, Media and Public Relations, Ralph Njokuobi announced the lecturer’s immediate suspension on Wednesday, April 3, 2023.
A video which went viral captured Izunwanne slapping the lady said to be in the early stages of pregnancy, because she arrived late for his lecture and was not dressed in the appropriate uniform.
