The incident, which occurred on campus, stemmed from an argument after the
lecturer, identified as Dr. Chukwudi Michael, interrupted the student while
she was recording a dance video in the faculty corridor.
Eyewitnesses said the student was dancing while someone filmed her when Michael
attempted to pass by.

“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.
Another clip showed the lecturer raising his hands in apparent restraint while
the student held onto him forcefully.
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.
