Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The management of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, UNIZIK, Awka, Anambra State, has launched a probe into a brawl involving a lecturer in the Department of Theatre Arts and a student over a filmed social media content.<\/p>\n

In a statement by the spokesman of the school, Njelita Louis, the management of the institution stated that it would impose the appropriate sanction on any of the parties found culpable.<\/p>\n

In viral videos, a third-year student in the Department of History and International Studies, Goddy Precious, was seen dancing in the corridors before her phone, capturing a TikTok moment when the lecturer, Dr. Chukwudi Okoye, walked past her from behind.<\/p>\n

The lecturer was said to have gently tapped the female student on the shoulder, asking her to give way, but the student was angered by the lecturer\u2019s action and interruption of her video moment.<\/p>\n

In the viral videos, the female student accused the lecturer of hitting her, grabbed his shirt, and dragged him among students.<\/p>\n

The female student also allegedly bit the lecturer on the wrist and arm during the scuffle.<\/p>\n

While the episode lasted, the lecturer was captured maintaining his composure.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the institution said, \u201cThe management of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, has been made aware of a disturbing incident involving Dr. Chukwudi Okoye, a lecturer in the Department of Theatre Arts and Film Studies, and Goddy Mbakwe Precious, a third-year student in the Department of History and International Studies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe incident, which has gained significant attention on social media, is being taken very seriously by the university authorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn line with our core values of discipline, self-reliance, excellence, and adherence to the principles of fair hearing, equity, and justice, the Acting Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Joseph Ikechebelu, has ordered a full-scale, transparent, and unbiased investigation into the matter.\u201d<\/p>\n
