UNIZIK Student Physically Assaults Lecturer For Interrupting Her Tiktok Video

There was chaos at the Faculty of Arts, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka after an unidentified female student attacked and bit a lecturer during a furious argument.

The incident, which occurred on campus, led to an argument after the lecturer, identified as Dr. Chukwudi Michael, interrupted the student while she was recording a dance video in the faculty corridor.

Witnesses reported that when Michael tried to walk by, the student was dancing while being filmed.

“The lecturer tapped her on the shoulder and said, ‘Excuse me,’ as he passed behind her. However, she became visibly upset and exclaimed, ‘Can you imagine how he just hit me?’” an eyewitness recounted.

The disagreement quickly escalated into a physical confrontation, with the student grabbing the lecturer’s clothes aggressively as onlookers tried to intervene.

A viral video of the incident, circulating on social media on Tuesday, captured the moment the student lashed out at the lecturer, insisting she had been hit.

When contacted, UNIZIK’s Chief Security Officer, Ken Chukwurah, confirmed the development, stating that the university was conducting an internal investigation into the matter.

“Yes, there was an incident like that. Investigations are ongoing, and the school will make its position known once we conclude our findings,” Chukwurah said.

He explained that Michael claimed he overheard the student insulting him after he passed by and returned to confirm if she was one of his students.

“He reportedly reached for her phone because he suspected she was making a TikTok video and did not want to appear in it. He asked that the video be deleted, but in response, she allegedly bit him on both arms,” he added.

Images circulating online show visible bite marks on the lecturer’s arms.

Further reports suggest the student involved is a 300-level History and International Studies student and the daughter of a lecturer in the university’s Engineering Department.

This is totally unacceptable! As a student you are bound to respect your lecturer regardless of who your parents are. I personally feel that she has bitten more than she can chew.

The lecturer was polite in saying “excuse me” and the fact that he did not retaliate shows his level of maturity and wisdom.

The school authorities should do the needful so that such act will not repeat itself. This will serve as a lesson to others who feel that they can disrespect lecturers.

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
