A University of Nigeria, Nzukka (UNIZIK) student has come forward to express her viewpoint and ask for forgiveness after she allegedly bit, slapped, and tore a lecturer’s clothes after he asked her to remove a video that featured him. This information was revealed in a post on the social media site X (previously Twitter) that has received a lot of attention.
The girl described the earlier event, saying that she was filming a video with a companion when she felt a quick shove on her arm and heard the words “Excuse me.”
She replied rashly based on her thoughts at the time, not realising he was a lecturer and feeling humiliated. A tussle ensued as someone grabbed her phone from behind almost instantly.
The man who held onto her phone until it fell and broke was later identified as the same one. She claims that the man then inappropriately grabbed her, which she felt was demeaning to her as a woman.
His clothes were ripped as she tried to escape. Her whole statement is as follows:
“MY PART IN THE STORY”
“This morning, around 11 a.m., I was filming a quick video with a friend in the hallway of my lecture room when, without warning, I felt a shove from my left side, along with a curt ‘excuse me.’ Initially, I assumed it was another student, but I was shocked to discover a man—a lecturer, whom I didn’t recognize. I felt helpless, faint, and deeply disrespected.”
“I whispered to my friend, ‘Omo, look at how this lecturer pushed me,’ and my friend attempted to comfort me.”
“Before I could fully process what had just happened, someone tried to snatch my phone from behind me. I clung to it tightly, in disbelief, and turned around to find the same man who had previously shoved me. At that moment, I had no idea he was a lecturer. I pleaded, ‘Sorry, sir, why are you taking my phone?’ but he remained silent, continuing to tug at it until it dropped and broke.” “I was devastated, lamenting the state of my shattered phone when things turned even worse.
The lecturer grasped my breast region, uttering unthinkable words. I was left in shock, trying to understand the nightmare unfolding.” “As I realized my cleavage was exposed, I pleaded for him to release me, but he disregarded my cries, holding me tightly. His grip left noticeable prints and scratches on my chest.” “I felt humiliated. I tried to cover myself, pulling my dress together, and in desperation, I said, ‘Sir, I’ll hold you ohh!’ I didn’t mean to intimidate him; I just wanted him to let me go.
But he wouldn’t relent. In the heat of the moment, I bit his hand, hoping he would release me, which resulted in accidentally tearing his shirt as I held onto it.” “The situation escalated, and several students intervened. Moments later, I spotted Theatre Arts students, from his department, approaching armed. I was scared and hurt. Eventually, security arrived and escorted me away in their van.”
“I am still reeling from what occurred. I never intended to disrespect a lecturer; I was reacting to being cornered, defending my dignity and rights as a woman. I sincerely apologize for how I responded, and I hope this situation can be resolved amicably.”
This declaration was made soon after videos of the fight, including the first event that started the altercation, appeared online.
Many viewers voiced their opinions in the comment section as the video gained popularity.
