The Deputy Registrar Head, Media and Public Relations, Ralph Njokuobi announced the lecturer’s immediate suspension on Wednesday, April 3rd.
It may be recalled that a video 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.
She had explained to him that she visited the hospital just before the lecture, but he disregarded her explanation and proceeded to slap her multiple times asking her, “what’s your reason for coming to class late?”.
In reaction to the incident, the IMSU management issued a statement, announcing that the erring lecturer has been suspended.
The statement read; “It has come to the notice of the Management of Imo State University the viral video circulating the globe about the indecorous actions of a lecturer of the University, Dr. Desmond lzunwanne of the Physiology Department, Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences of Imo State University, Owerri against four students of the University.
