Veritas University management, Abuja, on Wednesday says it has been investigating a video that showed a lecturer of the school shaving the hair of a student in the classroom.
The spokesperson for the institution, Evelyn Obekpa, revealed this while speaking with journalists in Abuja.
A video that went viral recently had showed a yet to be identified lecturer of the institution shaving the hair of a male student with scissors in a classroom.
Though the cause of the lecturer’s action was not disclosed, the school vowed to launch an investigation into the situation.
“We are aware of the video, however, we are investigating the incident,” Obekpa said.
Some Nigerian university lecturers have been caught on camera at different times shaving the hair of male and female students alike.
In January 2020, a lecturer at the Enugu State University of Technology was caught on camera shaving the hair of a male student with a razor blade.
In June 2021, another video of a lecturer at the Kogi State University surfaced online. The lecturer was seen moving around the campus and shaving the hair of some male students which he deemed inappropriate.
