The management of the Bamidele Olumilua 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 clip circulated on X which captured the student flogging her colleague with a cane while shouting at her.
In the footage, 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”.
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.
Tope Akinbisoye, the varsity’s spokesperson, earlier told TheCable Lifestyle that the students in the viral video were summoned by the school disciplinary panel on Monday.
But 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 colleague who provided the stick with which Gloria Ajayi, the victim, was beaten.
