The sister to the Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNZIK) lecturer who was assaulted by a student, has narrated her side of the story after the video of the assault went viral.
NPO earlier reported that the yet-to-be identified student had in the viral video tore the clothe of the lecturer having earlier bitten him for disrupting her video recording.
Reacting to the incident in a live video with social media influencer, Daddy Freeze, on Wednesday, the lecturer’s sister explained what happened as she affirmed that her brother is a calm and humble person.
The lady whose identity was undisclosed said that they were surprised when they started receiving calls that the video had gone viral.
She stated that his brother, whose wife happened to be a magistrate, called him hours after the incident and narrated what happened to her.
“My brother called me as soon as it happened because we are very close.
“He told me that what drew his attention was when he passed and the girl said, “who does he even think he is, even if he’s a lecturer?”
“He came back to see if the girl is his student, and that’s when he noticed that she was making a video. He then asked her to delete it that he doesn’t want his face in any video, and things escalated.
“He was still in shock, he said before he knew what was happening, the girl was all over him, scratching him, she bit him on the arm and drew blood.
“I didn’t even know it was this serious because the way he gifted me was like it was not a big deal, he just told me that a student attacked him.
“My brother is the calmest, most humble person I know. He is someone that will say, “the Holy Spirit said I should let it go”.
“So it’s very painful to come online and see all the comments against my brother, most people trying to defend the girl, most people saying that who knows if he has something to do with her.
I mean his wife is a Magistrate for God’s sake…” She said.
