The management of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, NAU, has expelled a student, Goddy-Mbakwe Chimamaka Precious, over her assault on a lecturer from the Department of Theatre and Film Studies.

This was announced on Friday in a statement by the Acting Registrar, Victor Modebelu.

According to the statement, the decision followed the recommendation of the Student Disciplinary Committee, which found the student’s actions to be a gross violation of the institution’s disciplinary regulations, specifically Regulation 4 (SDR).

“The Ag. Vice-Chancellor, consequently, on behalf of the University Senate, approved the Committee’s recommendation that you be expelled and you are hereby expelled from Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. You are expected to vacate the University premises immediately and return any University property in your possession,” the statement added.

Thelagostimes recalls that Precious went viral after a video of her attacking the lecturer identified as Dr. Chukwudi Okoye surfaced on social media.

The attack followed the interruption of a TikTok video she was recording on campus and subsequently led to public outrage and calls for disciplinary action.
