In the disturbing footage, the lecturer can be seen repeatedly striking the high-end smartphone while students in the vicinity react in disbelief and horror. The lack of context surrounding the incident has sparked speculation, as neither the institution nor those involved have provided an official explanation.

The video has ignited a fierce debate online, with many condemning the lecturer's behavior as both unprofessional and excessive. Social media users have taken to various platforms to express their outrage. One user, @Broda_Kenny, speculated, “From the looks of things, the student probably got caught using the phone in the exam hall.”

Another user, @TheTifeFab, criticized the broader culture within Nigerian institutions, stating, “Part of the abnormality they’ve normalized in Nigeria Institutions. Now if this lecturer becomes a Governor or President later, he’ll do worse.”

As discussions about the incident continue, many are calling for accountability and reform in the treatment of students within the educational system.
