Professor Okoye, a lecturer at Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), has broken his silence after a female student, Precious Mbakwe, was expelled for physically assaulting him.
The incident, which was captured in a viral video, showed Mbakwe assaulting Professor Okoye for interrupting her dance video.
The university management subsequently set up a disciplinary committee, resulting in Mbakwe’s expulsion.
In a recent podcast, Professor Okoye shared his thoughts on the controversy.
He described the attention surrounding him as just another social media buzz. However, he also acknowledged that he is still trying to process the events leading up to the assault.
“As much as I really want to get into this gist, I’m quite careful to get into it because I’m yet to fully process everything that happened “, He stated.
