UNIZIK Female Student Attacks Lecturer Over Video Recording Dispute

A video of a female student attacking a lecturer at Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Awka has gone viral. The incident has generated a lot of reactions online, with many questioning student behavior and how faculty members are treated in higher institutions.

According to reports, the lecturer tried to pass the female student who was recording a video on campus. He gently tapped her to get her attention so he could pass. Instead of stepping aside, she hissed at him and made a nasty remark. When he realized he was recorded, he asked her to delete the video. It was at that point that the student became aggressive and slapped him.

Witnesses said the situation escalated quickly. She not only slapped the lecturer but also bit him and engaged him in a physical fight. She tore his clothes and scratched his face as he tried to calm the situation. The lecturer remained calm throughout the ordeal despite the attack.

More reports say the female student is the daughter of another lecturer in the Faculty of Engineering at the same university. This has raised speculations that she may have felt emboldened by her mother’s position which may have caused her to react that way to the lecturer’s request.

The incident has generated a hot debate online with many people condemning the student’s behavior. Some social media users said such disrespect to lecturers is unacceptable. Others are asking what could have provoked such a reaction, saying there must be more to the story than what was captured in the video.

As the video goes viral, the university administration is looking into the matter. Many are waiting to see what disciplinary action will be taken against the female student. Some believe this case will set a precedence for how universities will handle student misconduct especially when it involves an attack on a lecturer.
