“As I talk to you right now, food is in front of me but I couldn’t eat, I am traumatized by the news of his arrest,’’ she said.
As a student of Al-Ma’arif nursing school, she said Malam Hudu is their Mental Health Psychiatric Nursing lecturer, and it all began when she complained to him about her personal health problem.
‘‘He tried to take advantage of me and asked me to see him in his office at the hospital, that it is the only way to examine my health issue.
‘’When I met him, he only talked about my health issues in less than a minute, then he diverted into a different conversation I was not comfortable with,’’ she narrated.
Explaining further, she said he claimed to be in love with her and that he wants to marry her.
‘’He continue making promises that he will take care of my responsibilities and that I will never fail any course in school,’’ she added.
Few months later after writing his course exams, Research Statistic, she recalled that Mr. Hudu called her and claimed that she had fail woefully in the exam but pledge to help her pass it and that she should not disclosed it to anybody.
‘’He said I should come to his office but if I tell anyone, we will both be in trouble, because he will lose his job and I will be dismissed from the school.
‘’I was scared and gave him the excuse that I won’t be able to leave the school premises without a gate pass, and any of my parents will have to call the school authorities and confirm any of my excuses before I will be granted the pass, but he insisted that I should find any excuse for my parents to make the call but I told him my father is like a police man, he will eventually find out.
‘’That was when he yielded and said I should come to the office when we arrive for our clinical,’’ she said.
Out of fear and uncertainty, she reported the situation to the student affairs division and they assured her that nothing will happened if she can secure any evidence, even if just a recording of their conversation.
She noted that ever since, Mr. Hudu kept pressuring her to visit his office and then came the news of him succeeding on one of the midwifery student.
The latest victim of Mr. Hudu is alleged to have been raped in his office at the General Hospital on Tuesday.
Findings by this reporter also suggested that Hudu is a husband of two wives and has several children.
Sources also revealed Hudu has since been dismissed Al-Ma’arif. However, there’s is no comment from Yobe state government yet.
