Viral Video: Kwarapoly Lecturer Forces Students to Kneel and Canes Them

A lecturer at Kwara State Polytechnic sparked online debate after a video showed him ordering IJMB students to kneel and then caning them on campus. Reports identify him as Dr Zubair, director of the institution’s IJMB programme, and say the punishment occurred during external exams supervised by Ahmadu Bello University officials. Supporters say he was enforcing examination rules and acting in a fatherly way to curb misconduct. Others argue that corporal punishment has no place in a tertiary setting and question the ethics of such discipline. The incident has reignited discussions across Nigeria about proper disciplinary methods, students’ rights during supervised exams, and the broader role of corporal punishment in higher education.
