Drama as female student bites lecturer during clash over ‘TikTok video’

Drama ensued at the Faculty of Arts, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, after a yet-to-be-identified female student attacked and bit a lecturer during a heated altercation.

In a circulating video, the young female student was filming a dance clip inside a school hall, seemingly for TikTok.

The lecturer, who needed to pass, tapped her on the back to get her attention and signal her to stop recording.

Subsequent reports suggest that the lecturer requested the student to delete the recording, as his face had been captured in the video.

However, the situation quickly escalated, leading to a violent exchange in which the student allegedly bit the lecturer multiple times.

While the lecturer attempted to restrain her by holding her hands, witnesses claim she became aggressive, tearing his clothes, slapping him, and scratching his face.

Confirming the incident, UNIZIK’s Chief Security Officer, Ken Chukwurah, said that the university had launched an internal investigation into the matter.
