The Nnamdi Azikiwe University (NAU), Awka, has expelled a 300-level student of History and International Studies, Miss Chimamaka Precious Goddy-Mbakwe.
The expulsion comes after a viral video showed Goddy-Mbakwe physically assaulting Dr. Chukwudi Okoye, a lecturer in the Department of Theatre and Film Studies.
According to a letter dated February 13, signed by the NAU Acting Registrar, Mr. Victor Modebelu, the Student Disciplinary Committee found Goddy-Mbakwe guilty of gross misconduct and violating the Students Disciplinary Regulations.
The committee’s recommendation to expel the student was approved by the Acting Vice-Chancellor, Professor Joseph Ikechebelu.
