A female student of Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Awka, Anambra State, has sparked outrage after physically attacking a lecturer who interrupted her while she was filming a dance video.
The shocking altercation, which was captured on camera and has since gone viral, unfolded within the university premises, drawing widespread reactions from students and social media users.
According to eyewitnesses, the student was recording a TikTok dance video inside a school hall when the lecturer, who needed to pass through, tapped her back to get her attention and signal her to stop. Reports suggest that the lecturer further requested her to delete the recording, as his face had inadvertently appeared in the footage.
However, what began as a simple request quickly spiraled out of control. In a dramatic turn of events, the student reportedly lashed out at the lecturer, leading to a physical confrontation.
Eyewitnesses claim that the student became aggressive, allegedly biting the lecturer multiple times. As he attempted to restrain her by holding her hands, she fought back viciously—tearing his clothes, scratching his face, and slapping him repeatedly.
Footage of the incident shows stunned onlookers struggling to separate them as chaos erupted within the university premises. Despite efforts to defuse the situation, the enraged student continued her assault, leaving the lecturer visibly shaken.
Further reports indicate that the student’s mother is a lecturer in the Engineering Department at UNIZIK, adding another layer of intrigue to the already controversial incident.
The university authorities have yet to issue an official statement regarding the altercation, but the incident has ignited debates about student discipline, social media influence, and respect for academic staff.
The video has sparked mixed reactions, with some condemning the student’s actions as a blatant display of indiscipline, while others argue that lecturers should exercise patience in handling such situations.
As the footage continues to circulate online, many are calling for disciplinary action against the student, with some insisting that UNIZIK must take a firm stance to uphold its reputation and academic integrity.
Will the university take action, or will this shocking incident fade into yet another viral spectacle? Only time will tell.
