A disturbing video capturing a female undergraduate student viciously assaulting her peer has sparked outrage and condemnation as it circulates online.

The footage, which surfaced on social media platforms, portrays the assailant, identified as a “very popular” Mass Communication student, wielding a stick as she relentlessly strikes her fellow student, Ajayi Precious Gloria. In the video, the attacker can be heard threatening to inflict harm on the victim, vowing to draw blood and displaying no regard for pleas to cease the violence.

The incident, which occurred on Sunday, May 5, 2024, at Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science, and Technology, underscores the alarming prevalence of campus violence. Despite the presence of bystanders, no intervention was made as the assailant chased after the victim, who sought refuge from the relentless assault.

The 1-minute, 37-second video, shared by a user on X (formerly known as Twitter) with the handle @IamTheIroko, has elicited widespread condemnation and calls for accountability from the university community and beyond.

While the motives behind the attack remain unclear, the footage serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for institutions to address issues of violence and promote a safe and inclusive campus environment.

As the video continues to spark outrage, stakeholders await action from Bamidele Olumilua University authorities to investigate the incident and ensure appropriate measures are taken to prevent such incidents in the future.
