The popular micro-blogging platform, Twitter was ‘set on fire’ yesterday by some concerned Nigerians over a video showing how a female student of federal university of technology Akure(FUTA) was physically assaulted and battered by some set of students of the institution. Unconfirmed report from the insiders revealed that the victim goes by the name Bolu, a 100-level student.

” From source,The boy who happens to be the school father of one of the girls in the video,was called to help deal with the lady who had misunderstanding with his school daughter.”

… Investigation and tracking of the culprit on going.”

The accuser was also caught on video punching the accused on the face countless times alongside a group of six including the accuser’s school father.

One of the girls was filmed viciously beating the accused with a broom with the girl screaming ‘egbami o’, a yoruba word for ‘please save me’

This incident happened just outside the school premises a probable reason why the assaulted girl couldn’t get help anywhere around.
