The lecturer recounted instances where students, who had amassed substantial sums through these dubious means, ostentatiously purchased luxury cars.

He said these students, emboldened by their newfound affluence, would then park their flashy vehicles in close proximity to the lecturers’ more modest cars, in a brazen display of intimidation and disrespect.
