A lecturer at Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) has spoken out about a recent confrontation with a student, providing a detailed account of the incident. The lecturer explained that he was leaving a classroom when he noticed the student recording a TikTok video in the passage.
According to the lecturer, he politely asked the student to excuse him, but she responded with an insulting remark. This prompted him to return and verify her identity, asking her to delete the video. However, when she refused, he attempted to take the phone from her, which escalated the situation.
The lecturer stated, “I was leaving a classroom for my office when I saw the lady standing along the passage… I needed to pass, so I simply tapped her and said, ‘Excuse me,’ then walked on.” He added, “When she made an insulting comment, I turned back to confirm if she was a student… I then realized she was recording a TikTok video, so I asked her to delete it.”
The incident has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many users sharing their thoughts and reactions. Some have praised the lecturer for remaining calm and not physically harming the student, while others have criticized the student’s behavior and questioned her motives.
