Lady supports UNIZIK student who allegedly slapped lecturer
Afekelu Ataghoma, who shared her thoughts on Facebook, argued that the lecturer’s actions were unprofessional and unjustified.
She claimed that a careful analysis of the available video suggested that the lecturer had acted in bad faith.
Ataghoma also alleged that the lecturer had groped the student, citing eyewitness accounts from spectators who allegedly witnessed the altercation.
She maintained that the lecturer had overstepped his boundaries and failed to maintain a professional demeanor. Speaking further, she argued that the student had a right to dignity and respect, regardless of her status as a student.
In her words:
“The unizik lecturer deserved what he got there is a precept that says respect is reciprocal.having heard both sides of the story and carefully watched and analyzed the different video clips critically I can tell you from my own point of view that the lecturer acted in bad faith.
“If you watch and pricck up your ears to the other video clips from spectators who gathered to watch the scene as it unfolded you would hear her actually saying how she was groped. I don’t care if he is a lecturer he acted in bad faith and he did not exude professionalism in curtailing the situation for it to have generated into a scrimmage it shows he belittled himself.
“Forget she is a student she has a right to human dignity. Why would you shove someone, grope her breasst and also tug her phone from her and go ahead to annihilate her phone, a phone you did not acquire for her is that how to admonish someone. The school should carry out a full scale investigation on the issue they both owe each other an apology.”
