Social media went wild when a video of an unidentified OAU lecturer hitting a student appeared.

@blackfola1 shared the footage on Twitter in an attempt to bring the student’s case to justice.

Based on details provided by the victim’s sister, the student mistakenly entered the lecturer’s class believing it to be his own.

Voices in the video, however, indicate that the man was requesting that the student turn off his phone, but the student refused and questioned what he had done prior to the professor pouncing on him.

Many Nigerians have denounced this behaviour, describing it as oppressive behaviour on the part of the lecturer and also a wrong approach.

@Nithsmit asked: They need to arrest the lecturer for assault. Why are the students quiet ? When you all can come out to protest his dismissal. Will he fail all of you? Why are you all quiet ? Tomorrow it might be your turn
