A disturbing video circulating on social media has sparked outrage as it captures a shocking incident of violence on the campus of Bamidele Olumilua University of Education Science and Technology, Ikere in Ekiti State.
In the video, a female undergraduate can be seen brutally beating a fellow student with a stick, despite the victim's pleas for mercy. The assailant, unmoved by the victim's distress, is heard callously saying, "Let me draw blood from you easily or hardly."
The incident reportedly took place on a Sunday, coinciding with the day the video surfaced online. According to eyewitnesses, the assault occurred within the premises of BOUESTI's campus, sending shockwaves across the university community.
Identified as Ajayi Precious Gloria, the victim is seen enduring the vicious attack allegedly carried out by a "very popular" Mass Communication student, as per the commentary provided in the video. What makes the situation even more perplexing is the assertion that the victim and the perpetrator were purportedly friends, adding a layer of complexity to the motive behind the assault.
The distressing footage reveals the presence of onlookers during the assault, yet none intervened to halt the violence, raising questions about bystander intervention and the prevailing safety culture on campus. The motive behind the attack remains unknown, leaving many to speculate on the underlying reasons behind such a brutal act.
