BEVERLY HILLS, March 03, (THEWILL) – Babcock University has reacted to the viral video where one of its 100-level students was assaulted by a colleague over slippers.
THEWILL writes that two students of the varsity engaged in a fight with one claiming that the other wore a pair of his slippers without his consent.
Reacting, Babcock’s Marketing and Communications Director, Joshua Suleiman, issued a statement on Wednesday saying that the institution will investigate the development, which it described as abominable.
The varsity aslo kicked against the witnesses who filmed the fight rather than help to settle the dispute.
“Investigations reveal that the fight resulted from lack of restraint by a student who alleged his roommate of using his pair of slippers without his permission/consent,” the statement read.
“With our zero tolerance for bullying and physical violence of any kind, the university administration finds this conduct abominable and most unacceptable and is, therefore, taking appropriate steps to address it accordingly.
“The university also condemns the conduct of the student who, rather than separating the two students fighting, and or reporting same to the authorities immediately, instead, concentrated on video-recording the incident.
“Babcock University will continue to create a safe environment, as well as uphold its values of mutual respect and peaceful coexistence among our students.
“We are committed to pursuing our goal to nurture and raise God-fearing leaders for Nigeria and beyond.”
