College of Education Asaba Staff Beat Up Union Chairman Over Poor Performance

– Staff of Federal College of Education Asaba have be@ten the chairman of the staff union black and blue

Delta state Chairman of the College of Education Academic Staff Union, Comrade Osagiede Lawrence, received the be@ting of his life from two lecturers namely Nwalado Emmanuel and Adekunle Timothy, over what the assailants described as the alleged non-performance of the chairman in his tenure as the union leader.

The fight took place on March 8, 2017 in front of the Science lecture hall of the Federal College of Education Asaba, where they fought right in the presence of students of the institution, who had just finished their afternoon lectures around 2.30pm and had watched the spectacle unfold with obvious disappointment.

The altercation had occurred when both Nwalado and Adekunke had accosted the union leader Mr. Osagiede and accused him of several discrepancies and non-performance in high voices which quickly attracted attention.

The attempt by Osagiede to respond to the allegations further aggravated the anger of his accusers who immediately pounced on him and administered an avalanched of blows, kicks and slaps on the hapless union chairman to the shock and dismay of on-looking students, who were obviously afraid to intervene in a matter that involved their lecturers.

The assailants, satisfied that they had sufficiently dealt with Mr. Osagiede, then left him as he struggled in pain and agony to rise up and with the aid of some good Samaritans, managed to contact some other union members who came to his aid.

When contacted later, the COEASU Delta Chairman, Mr. Osagiede, who was still nursing his wounds and recovering from the harrowing ordeal, pleaded to be excused from commenting, but confirmed that the relevant security agencies have been alerted and a formal complaint has been lodged with the Directorate of State Security, Delta state command, who are said to be on top of the investigation.
