UI Professor Harasses Female Student

A professor of University of Ibadan, Professor John Anthony Wood, was seen, in a video shared on YouTube harassing, a female student. The prominent professor of the Department of Chemistry harassed the lady for using a skateboard in the school.

Professor Wood in the video that went viral on the internet asserted that using a skateboard could endanger the lives of people and motorists. Therefore, he called on the security to arrest the lady, who is a student of the university.

The effort of the female student to placate Professor Wood proved abortive as the renowned professor was not ready to have any conversations with the girl. He berated the girl and called on the security operatives heavily to arrest the girl.

The angry professor also told the security operatives to arrest a man who tried to be the trouble shooter. The man had told the professor to let the girl explain herself and let her go. But the professor told the security men to arrest both of them.

Many netizens condemned the tirade of the professor of Chemistry, who specializes in Inorganic/Coordination Chemistry. They claimed that the professor was power-drunk for refusing to let the girl speak. They asserted that the issue might have been settled amicably with no need to arrest the girl and the man.

However, the news came in the wake of the expectation of Nigerian students to resume on campus after 238 days stoppage of academic activities on campus. Many students have come out to share their experiences about how some lecturers assault them physically.

The Academic Staff Union of Union (ASUU) have gone on strike since February 14 to press home its demand from the federal government. However, the FG has become inactive and insensitive on the issues that concern the students, the future of the country, until recently when the speaker of the House of Representative, Femi Gbajabiamila, intervened in the issue. Nonetheless, the students expect the ASUU to call off the strike today since the FG is now ready to meet its demands.

Are you sure that man is a professor?
No be by white beards oh.

Unless there is a law against it in the school or he promised to get one for his grand children then he now saw the opportunity to grab from someone.

I just watched the video and I felt Prof. took it too far and personal. He didn't give the lady an audience. He was right in a way but he would have just warned her and move on instead of creating a scene about it. Prof. Wood hasn't changed o. I remember taking his course in chemistry dept. In 100level many years ago. I thought he has retired before seeing this video.

That's prof Wood for you.
He should be in his old age by now
He was very (too) strict .
Can't believe he is still there.
