In a press release issued on July 16, by the Director of Information and Public Relations, Comrade Aloysius Emeka Attah, the university said the individual featured in the widely circulated video is not a staff member of the institution and that the incident did not occur anywhere within the university.
According to the statement, the university carried out a thorough verification following the circulation of the video and accompanying online reports. “It has been established that the incident did not happen anywhere at Nnamdi Azikiwe University. The man in question seen in the viral video is also not a staff of Nnamdi Azikiwe University.
