A video has captured the moment a lecturer at the Federal Polytechnic Nekede in Imo State assaulted a male student in front of his peers.
The footage shows students gathered around the lecturer when a boy changes his position.
Immediately, the lecturer confronts him, slaps him, and delivers a leg kick that sends him to the ground, his back hitting the concrete.
Other students scream as the lecturer begins scolding the boy for not following instructions.
The boy explains that he has a headache, but the lecturer continues to berate him while other students plead on his behalf.
“Sorry sir,” other students are heard begging the lecturer.
The video has sparked widespread outrage and ignited a discussion about how Nigerian lecturers treat students under the guise of discipline.
Watch the video below.
