A video showing a 100-level student of Babcock University attacking his colleague has surfaced and gone viral on social media.
The short video, which surfaced online on Wednesday, shows one of the two students shielding himself as his assailant delivers repeated slaps and punches in an environment that appears to be a hostel.
The visibly raging student had started by lifting and throwing his scollague from the bed to the tiled floor. He further warned him never to put on his slippers again. The names of the two students were unknown as of the time of filing this report.
None of the other students who witnessed the assault attempted to quell the dispute in the footage, including the individual who filmed the fight.
However, social media users have expressed shock over the incident with many condemning the brawl and lamenting shock over the atmosphere of bullying and intimidation that exists among private university students.
