Man says UNIZIK lecturer may forgive student
Mbah, on his Facebook page, shared what he knew about the lecturer and stated that the man may forgive the student and let her go.
He also talked about the man’s wife, who is a magistrate in Anambra State.
His Facebook post read:
“Dr. Chukwudi Okoye, is one of the calmest, reserved, brilliant yet jovial lecturers in UNIZIK (Theatre Arts department). This attitude of the girl is so unwarranted and very repulsive. She was even accusing the lecturer of segxually harassment(imagine if there was no recorded video.)
"Anyways, congratulations to her. She just graduated and convocated before her coursemates. She is currently looking for another institution(to write UTME). Perhaps, when she and her mother who is a senior lecturer in the same institution eventually find out that the lecturer(the man who was assaulted) is happily married to a Senior Magistrate, they would have to invite their kindred to save the girl from serving jail terms.
"Fortunately, Dr. Okoye is a pastor, and might just forgive and let go, but as for me, she deserves a huge punishment- jail, not eligible for admission into any tertiary institution in Nigeria for the next 5 or 10 years. This is to serve as a warning to others who might want to try this."

"She didn't do well. I condemn her actions totally. However, l have a question. Why did he want to seize her phone? That's the part l don't get, considering that his appearance in the video was less than three seconds."
Okogi Lilian said:
"That aged man? What was she trying to prove? See how calm he was, even in the face of provocation."
