A 400-Level student at the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN), Salaudeen Waliu, popularly identified as Captain Walz, has reportedly beaten a lecturer, Mrs Zakariyyah, to stupor after an altercation on his academics.

Naija News learnt that Walz who is a rapper failed to observe the mandatory Students Industrial Work Scheme (SIWES) and that meant he could graduate with his colleagues.
