Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, has expelled a student, Goddy-Mbakwe Chimamaka Precious, for physically assaulting a lecturer, Dr. Chukwudi Okoye, from the Department of Theatre and Film Studies
The decision, conveyed in an expulsion letter dated February 13, 2025, was signed by the Acting Registrar, Mr. Victor I. Modebelu. It followed recommendations from the Student Disciplinary Committee, which found Precious guilty of gross misconduct under the institution’s disciplinary regulations, specifically Regulation 4 (SDR).
The incident, widely circulated in a viral video, reportedly occurred after Dr. Okoye interrupted a TikTok video Precious was recording on campus, leading to a confrontation that sparked public outrage.
The university stated that the expulsion takes immediate effect, ordering Precious to vacate the premises and return any university property in her possession.
“The Acting Vice-Chancellor has, 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. The expulsion takes immediate effect,” the letter read.
This move reinforces the university’s commitment to upholding discipline and maintaining order within its academic community.
