Drama at UNIZIK: Student Bites Lecturer Over TikTok Video
A shocking incident unfolded at Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Awka, after a female student allegedly bit a lecturer during a heated argument over a TikTok video.
The altercation occurred at the Faculty of Arts when Dr. Chukwudi Michael attempted to pass by the student as she was recording a dance video in the corridor.
According to eyewitnesses, the lecturer lightly tapped her shoulder while passing, which unexpectedly sparked outrage.
How It Escalated
An onlooker described the moment:
“He said, ‘Excuse me,’ as he passed, but the student reacted angrily, accusing him of hitting her.”
Tensions quickly rose as the student confronted Dr. Michael, aggressively grabbing his clothes.
A video circulating on social media shows the student lashing out while the lecturer raised his hands in an apparent attempt to de-escalate the situation.
Investigation Underway
UNIZIK’s Chief Security Officer, Ken Chukwurah, confirmed the incident, stating that the university has launched an investigation.
“Yes, there was an incident, and we are currently conducting investigations,” he said.
Reports suggest that after overhearing the student make derogatory remarks, Dr. Michael returned to confirm if she was one of his students.
He allegedly reached for her phone, asking her to delete the video, as he didn’t want to appear in it. In response, the student reportedly bit him on both arms, leaving visible marks.
Who Is the Student?
The student, identified as a 300-level History and International Studies major, is said to be the daughter of a lecturer in UNIZIK’s Engineering Department.
With the university now probing the matter, students and faculty await further updates on the consequences of the shocking altercation.
