The University of Education Science and Technology Ikere-Ekiti (BOUESTI) has expelled a female student caught in a viral video flogging her colleague.
On Monday, a viral video obtained by DAILY GIST circulated on social media which captured the student flogging her colleague with a cane.
In the video, the perpetrator is heard screaming at the victim, saying: “I want to see you fight back. You called me a bastard? Is it because I have kept silent? I must draw blood from you today and no one can stop me”.
She continues flogging the victim while threatening to beat her till she bleeds.
She added, “I am waiting for who will stop me from not beating you till you bleed”.
Later in the video, the victim is seen running toward a small group while the bully chased her.
The victim is also seen in the video running to safety while being chased by her attacker.
The video also captured several individuals present during the assault, yet no one attempted to intervene.
The video has since stirred outrage and Nigerians are calling for the bully to be punished.
Tope Akinbisoye, the varsity’s spokesperson, earlier disclosed that the school disciplinary panel on Monday summoned the students in the viral video.
However in a statement on Tuesday evening, the school authorities announced that Opemiposi Precious Bolaji, the perpetrator who is an 18-year-old student of the Department of Mass Communication, has been expelled.
The 100-level student was expelled alongside Genesis Osaro, another student who provided the stick with which Gloria Ajayi, the victim, was beaten.
