The authorities of Nnamdi Azikiwe University (NAU), Awka, have expelled a student, Goddy-Mbakwe Chimamaka Precious, for assaulting a lecturer from the Department of Theatre and Film Studies.

This was disclosed in a statement issued on Friday by the Acting Registrar of the university, Victor Modebelu.

According to Modebelu, the Acting Vice-Chancellor had received a report from the Student Disciplinary Committee concerning the incident, which involved the assault of a lecturer, Dr. Chukwudi Okoye, from the Department of Theatre and Film Studies.

The Acting Registrar emphasized that the student’s actions were deemed a gross violation of the institution’s disciplinary regulations, particularly Regulation 4 (SDR). The Student Disciplinary Committee’s findings led to the recommendation for the student’s expulsion, which was approved by the Acting Vice-Chancellor on behalf of the University Senate.

“The Ag. Vice-Chancellor has received the report from the Student Disciplinary Committee on the case of your assault on a lecturer from the Department of Theater and Film Studies, which was found to be a gross misconduct and violation of the Students Disciplinary Regulations particularly Regulation 4 (SDR),” the statement read.

Consequently, the student has been expelled, and the expulsion takes immediate effect. The statement further instructed Precious to vacate the university premises without delay and return any university property in her possession.

The incident attracted widespread attention after a video surfaced online, showing Precious allegedly attacking Dr. Okoye. The video quickly went viral, sparking public outcry and calls for disciplinary action.
