A lecturer at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, UNIZIK, has spoken out following an incident where a student allegedly confronted him and tore his clothes during a heated altercation on campus.
The lecturer took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his perspective on the viral incident, which has sparked widespread debate online. According to his detailed account, the situation began when he noticed a student filming a video in the middle of a walkway shortly after leaving a lecture hall.
He explained that as he passed by, he lightly tapped her and continued walking, only to overhear her say, “Who does he think he is?” Concerned about being recorded without consent, he turned back to confirm if she was his student and requested that she delete any footage of him that may have been captured.
The lecturer further claimed that when he attempted to take her phone to check, she reacted by biting him on both arms. In an effort to stop her from fleeing, he held onto her hand, which allegedly led her to become even more aggressive.
He recounted that at that moment, the student tore his clothes, slapped, and scratched his face, all while he remained composed. Following the altercation, both parties were taken to the university security office, where the student reportedly accused him of inappropriately touching her chest.
His statement reads:
“I had just left Hall 19, where Dr. Ebekue was teaching. Walking along the passage, I saw a girl recording a video with her phone, which she had placed on the window hood while posing in the middle of the walkway. I slightly tapped her and asked her to excuse me as I walked past.”
“After taking a few steps, I heard her say, ‘Who does this man think he is?’ I turned back to confirm if she was my student and to ensure she deleted any footage of me passing.”
“I then reached for her phone, only for her to bite me on both arms in quick succession. I held her left hand to prevent her from running away.”
“That was when she completely lost control. She tore my clothes, slapped and scratched my face, and generally went berserk—all of which I endured calmly, much to my own admiration, if I do say so myself.”
“We just came from the security office, where she claimed I was stripping her naked in the faculty. I’m told her mother is a lecturer in the Engineering department, which perhaps emboldened her. So, my Theatre Family, this is how it happened. We shall see how it unfolds.”
The incident has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with users debating both sides of the story. The student has since released her own version of events, accusing the lecturer of inappropriately holding her chest, adding another layer of controversy to the case.
