Adamu Gambo Hudu, a health lecturer that was arrested for alleged raping of his student has been dismissed from work by Al-Ma’arif College of Nursing, Midwifery and Health Sciences, a private nursing school in Potiskum local government area of Yobe State.

This was confirmed by the school authority on Sunday night where it noted that it did not hesitate to terminate his appointment even before his arrest by the police.

The school also said that they have zero tolerance for such act by any of their employees.

MaidawaArewa had reported earlier how he was arrested by the police on charges of rape, molestation and bridge of trust among other things.

In a letter dated 24th February 2024, which was made available to MaidawaArewa, the accused is also alleged with sexual activities and academic intimidation of three other students.

“Subject: Termination of Engagement with Al-Ma’arif CNS, Potiskum
The Appointment, Promotion & Disciplinary Committee of the College has approved your termination of engagement with the College with immediate effect. The reason for the termination is on the ground of the following established offences:

  1. Illicit affair with one of our students (name withheld for obvious reason)
  2. Moral victimization of our three students (names withheld for obvious reason)
  3. Academic intimidation of one of our students (name withheld for obvious reason)
    The above offences contravene the Laws of the College as contained in Chapter 1, Section 1.3.22 of the CoS.
  4. For these reasons you’re to handover all the booklets and properties belonging to the College that are with you to the Heads of Departments of Nursing and Midwifery respectively and await further action to be taken against you for breach of trust by both the College and the parents of the affected student.
  5. This is for your information,” the letter reads.

According to our sources, Mr. Hudu is currently under prison custody as directed by a court order, pending his trial.

However, this is coming after the lecturer’s other alleged victims were invited by the police for questioning on Thursday as part of their investigation.

Hudu is also an employee of Yobe State government under State General Hospital, Potiskum.

There is however, no official statement from the government on the issue at the time of filling this report.
