A Non-Governmental Organisation, NGO, Association of Female Comrades, has condemned the appalling display of violence by a female student of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, against her male lecturer.
President of the group, Comrade Muniretu Isah, in a statement, said the lecturer had met the female student on a walkway from the lecture room to his office, creating a TikTok video content, after tapping her, the student responded with an insult and attack for interrupting her.
The Association of Female Comrades said ” this egregious incident is a disturbing reflection of the erosion of moral values and respect for authority in our society. The student’s actions are utterly unacceptable and undermine the fundamental values of discipline and respect that are essential for academic excellence”.
Isah stated that “we believe that women can and should speak out against unacceptable behavior even when it involves one of their own, therefore our condemnation of this incident demonstrates our commitment to uphold the values of respect, civility and non-violence” .
The group urged the university administration to take concrete steps to address this incident, including providing support to the affected lecturer and taking disciplinary action against the student.
