Ex-UNIZIK student’s testimony about Dr Chukwudi
Benita, in a Facebook post, said he was one of her lecturers at UNIZIK years ago and claimed he was in his final year when she was in her 100 level.
The ex-student said Dr Chukwudi was the most peaceful lecturer who avoided problems like a plague and recounted how he assisted her ex-coursemates when they had issues with other lecturers. In her words:
“Dr Chukwudi was one of my lecturers wayback Unizik.
“A peaceful and very focused fellow.
“I was in 100 Level when he was in his final year and I kid you not those days his mates would send us to help them get stuffs like they do in boarding schools, it didn’t go well with us but we had to oblige as the theatre was known for its core values which had respect as one of them.
“Infact we call our graduates “ancestors” cos we see them as snr colleagues, you dare not call them by name.
“If you know Chukwudi Michael Okoye very well, you’d know him to be the most peaceful lecturer who avoids issues like plague.
“Sometimes when my coursemates have issues with other lecturers, they run to him to intercede on their behalf.
You will never have him get involved in any form of scandal or drama even as a thespian he is…”
The former student berated Precious for allegedly assaulting the lecturer and tagged her an uncultured young lady.
She wondered who brought Precious up and hammered on some lessons her generation of parents taught her.
She hoped the assaulted lecturer would get justice.
Her lengthy reaction to the incident got people talking.

“Benita Ezinne Ibeh seeing this online got me tearing, this girl humiliated our favorite Lecturer, Mr chukwudi don’t deserve this humiliation but I pray the girl will face the consequences, she won’t go unpunished.”
Chukwuegbo Precious said:
“He didn’t avoid this particular issue. He succumbed to this temptation. Peaceful or focused fellow or not. I saw a video of him dragging the lady by her dress almost exposing her cleavage. People are being biased with the whole respect thing. He wasn’t even supposed to drag the lady talk more of holding her dress. Instruct her on what to do when she refuses, then call on the school authority to handle her. Why manhandle her or drag her hand and all.”
