UNIZIK student who confronted and tore lecturer’s clothes seeks forgiveness, shares her side of the story
A student of UNIZIK, who was said to have slapped, bitten, and torn the clothes of her lecturer after he asked her to delete a video he appeared in, has shared her side of the story and pleaded for forgiveness.
This was contained in a post making waves on a popular social media platform, X (formerly Twitter).
The student detailed the incident, which happened earlier.
She explained that she was recording a video with her friend when, unexpectedly, she felt a push on her arm, accompanied by the words, “Excuse me.”
Unaware that he was a lecturer and feeling disrespected, she responded based on how she felt.
Almost immediately, she said someone grabbed her phone from behind, leading to a struggle.
The individual, whom she later identified as the same man, held onto the phone until it fell and broke.
According to her, the man then held onto her chest region and refused to let go, which she found disrespectful as a woman. While struggling to free herself, his clothes got torn.
The student’s full statement:
“MY OWN SIDE OF THE STORY”
“This morning, around 11 a.m., I was recording a quick video with a friend along my lecture room hallway when, out of nowhere, I felt a push from my left side, accompanied by a curt ‘excuse me.’ Initially, I thought it was a student, but when I turned around, I was shocked to see a man—a lecturer, unbeknownst to me. I felt helpless, faint, and utterly disrespected.”
“I whispered to my friend, ‘Omo, see how this lecturer pushed me,’ and my friend tried to reassure me.”
“Before I could even process what had just happened, someone tried to grab my phone from behind. I held on tight, exclaiming in shock, and turned around to see the same man who had pushed me earlier. Mind you, I didn’t even know he was a lecturer. I pleaded with him, ‘Sorry, sir, why are you dragging my phone?’ But he remained silent, tugging at my phone until it fell and broke.”
“I was devastated and still lamenting in pain as I picked up the pieces of my shattered phone. But the situation took a dark turn when the lecturer grasped my breast region, saying unspeakable things. I was left stunned, trying to comprehend the horror unfolding before me.”
“As I realized my cleavage was exposed, I begged him to let me go, but he ignored my pleas, holding me firmly. His nails and grip left visible prints and scratches on my chest.”
“I was mortified. I tried to cover myself, pulling my dress together, and exclaimed in desperation, ‘Sir, I’ll hold you ohh!’ I didn’t mean to threaten him; I just wanted him to release me. But he wouldn’t budge. In a split second, I bit his hand, hoping he’d let go. That was when I held his clothes and accidentally tore his shirt.”
“The situation escalated, with some students intervening. In no time, I saw Theatre Arts students (from his department) approaching me with weapons. I was terrified and hurt. Security personnel eventually arrived and took me away in their van.”
“I’m still shaken by the events that transpired. I never intended to disrespect a lecturer; I was acting under duress, protecting my dignity and interests as a woman. I’m deeply sorry for my reactions, and I hope that somehow, someway, this situation can be resolved peacefully.”
This comes just minutes after videos of her assaulting the lecturer surfaced online, along with footage of the initial contact that led to the entire incident.
As the video circulated, concerned individuals stormed the comment section of the post to share their thoughts.
