Dr. Fred Ayokhai, a prominent lecturer at the Federal University of Lafia in Nasarawa State, allegedly beat Blessing Mathias, 20, on Friday after she allegedly fought his daughter over a man.
Ayokhai was shown in a viral video stripping the victim naked while he and other people who are believed to be his family are teaching in the Department of History and International Studies.
According to reports, Blessing confronted Emmanuella, Ayokhai’s daughter, last week about trying to “snatch” her lover, who goes by the name of IG.
