Walz claimed that while urinating near a car packed by a gutter, he was accused of being a thief and was heavily descended on by a mob. “I urinated near a car parked by drainage and challenged by one of the workers there. “I was then accused of being a thief and was not allowed to explain myself before a mob descended.
I was severely beaten and handed over to the police which led to my detention for two months.
Upon his release, Walz said he had visited the female lecturer’s office to help him wave his mandatory SIWES scheme. He said the lecturer said there was nothing to be done and ordered him out of her office. “…She said there was no help to offer, except I joined the next set which would result in an extra year. “On the fateful Thursday when I entered her office, she ordered me out…
