A JAMB aspirant has publicly accused Mr. Segun, the owner of The Connection Tutorial, of harassment and physical assault. The student shared her ordeal through a series of videos on TikTok, alleging that both Mr. Segun, his wife, and his wife’s sister were involved in the attack.
How It Started
The aspirant explained that she had issues generating her JAMB profile code, prompting her mother to seek Mr. Segun’s assistance. Initially, he assured them that he could resolve the issue. However, after their initial meeting, he allegedly began calling her frequently, insisting she visit him and making her wait unnecessarily while attending to other students.
The Alleged Assault
According to the student, she had already paid her fees on January 28 but was still asked to wait outside upon her return in early February. Meanwhile, another student, who had not made any payment, was allowed inside.
When she attempted to place her bag inside the tutorial center before waiting outside as instructed, Mr. Segun allegedly struck her with a wire and physically assaulted her. In an act of self-defense, she pushed him away, causing him to fall, injure his arm, and break his phone.
Verbal Confrontation and Further Attack
Following the incident, Mr. Segun’s wife allegedly confronted her, verbally abusing her and calling her derogatory names. The aspirant responded by exposing Mr. Segun’s alleged inappropriate advances toward her, which led to further confrontation. The wife’s sister then reportedly joined in and physically assaulted the student.
Public Reactions
The aspirant’s video quickly went viral, sparking widespread outrage on social media. Many users shared their own experiences with Mr. Segun and The Connection Tutorial, confirming similar misconduct. Here are some of the reactions:
- “That man doesn’t respect anybody, even if you’re 25! I avoided him like the plague when I was there.”
- “I attended that lesson, and I can confirm that they used to flog students there.”
- “Why is a grown man hitting a student? Call the police and have him arrested!”
Call for Action
Many social media users are calling for legal action against Mr. Segun and his family, urging the victim to provide evidence to law enforcement. Some commenters suggested that The Connection Tutorial should be investigated and shut down for unprofessional conduct.
The victim has yet to confirm whether she will pursue legal action, but the case has sparked a larger conversation about student safety, harassment, and abuse in tutorial centers across Nigeria. Authorities are being urged to take swift action against institutions that engage in unethical and abusive practices.
