Some of those who have shared their views on the topic agreed that Dr Okoye was a calm and loving mentor.
However, the problem had quickly escalated after the lecturer walked into a video scene of a TikToker who was shooting content.
The altercation grew to the extent that the female student allegedly slapped the lecturer, tore his clothes and also bit him.
In the video, Dr Okoye remained calm despite the tense situation, a development that has attracted praise from netizens.
But in his reaction, a former student said the lady should have been disciplined immediately. He also expressed shock at the level of disrespect allegedly displayed by the student.
While calling for peace, Ike said if it was during his time in the school, the situation would not have happened.
His words:
“I purposely ignored all the stories about that History student that dared touch my lecturer. Of all people, Dr Chukwudi! Lol! She’s lucky we have left school. Clearly na small Children full ATAS now.”
He noted that Dr Okoye was a nice and calm person and also claimed that the lecturer’s wife was a judge. TheTalk.NG could not independently verify the claim that Dr Okoye’s wife is a judge, but many people have mentioned it online. TheTalk.NG has reached out to Dr Okoye for comments.
Ike said:
“I’m not bothered, Dr Chukwudi Michael Okoye is very calm but never forget, his wife is a magistrate. I am confident she knows what to do even if Unizik decides to play politics with this. These new generation of students sha… Udo!”
