A Nigerian pastor has said Dr. Chukwudi Michael Okoye is a very nice person with a beautiful character.

Pastor Obi Ogbo who is the senior pastor at The Garden of Grace Church said the lecturer is a lover of Christ, and that he has a calm personality.

According to Pastor Ogbo, he and Dr Okoye attend the same church and the lecturer is the head of their church's deaconry.

He insisted that there was no student who passed under the lecturer who would say something bad about him.

He said:

"The rot finally came this close! Dr Chukwudi Michael Okoye, the assaulted lecturer, is the head of our Church’s Deaconry. He is a man so loyal to Christ, the nicest and calmest man you will ever meet. You will not find any among hundreds of students that have passed through his faculty accuse him of any offence."

Pastor Ogbo said the lecturer has always demonstrated a passion for building young people.

He said:

"Beyond his career as an academic his passion to guide young people rightly and in the fear of God is a very core to him and has demonstrated this in so many ways. He is the director of program for our special outreach to Unizik students tagged EXPRESSION UNIZIK where several thousands of young people are introduced to Christ and His Life."

Pastor Ogbo said the incident should not go unattended and also commended Dr Okoye for handling the incident calmly.

His words:

"The campaign in Nigerian higher institutions has mostly been against mischievous and rot lecturers who oppress students, maybe through our Deacon Okoye, the campaign will now include rot students who oppress many innocent lecturers. This should not just go away. Doc, you remain blessed. I truly appreciate your calm spirit in the situation."

Anosike Chinedu said:

"The calmness of the Dr. can be understood in this situation, but the calmness of the other 'present at the scene' students is a typical reflection of the "mind your business" campaign we push daily. In our days, a fellow girl for don use slap redesign violence for her for assaulting an elder like that for whatever reasons."

Odoemenam Washington said:

"I know this lecturer and his wife in unizik, very calm and gentle man. He doesn't make trouble at all but I believe God wants to use this girl to elevate him. This girl is doomed. Even the wife no go gree, that woman no dey use her husband play o, a chief judge for that matter. Make I hear say Unizik no go expel this girl."
