UNIZIK lecturer speaks after student confronts him, tears his clothes

A lecturer at Nnamdi Azikiwe University,  UNIZIK, who was recently confronted by a student who allegedly tore his clothes, has shared his side of the story.

In a post gaining traction on X (formerly Twitter), the lecturer narrated the series of events that led to the incident.

According to him, he had just left a lecture hall and was walking within the campus when he noticed a student making a video in the middle of a walkway.

As he passed, he gently tapped her and continued on his way. However, he overheard her say, “Who does he think he is?”

Concerned, he turned back to verify if she was his student and to ensure she deleted the video, fearing he had been recorded. He then asked for her phone, but instead of complying, she allegedly bit him on both arms.

In response, he held her hand to prevent her from fleeing.

At that moment, he claimed she became aggressive, tearing his clothes, slapping, and scratching his face.

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.”

His statement comes shortly after the student released her own version of events, accusing the lecturer of holding her chest.
