A dramatic scene unfolded at Niger Delta University, Bayelsa State, after a female student and a lecturer engaged in a physical fight inside an examination hall.
The clash reportedly began when the lecturer caught the student involved in malpractice and ordered her to leave the hall; but she refused, insisting her seized phone be returned first.
Witnesses said the confrontation escalated when the student allegedly smashed the lecturer’s phone, sparking a heated exchange of blows.
In a video of the incident, another official was heard urging the student to exit the hall, but she stood her ground until her phone was released.
Attempts to get the university’s reaction were unsuccessful as management has yet to comment on the incident.
That incident just shows how quickly exam tension can escalate—both the student and lecturer lost control, and now the whole university is embarrassed.
