The incident of a lecturer violently smashing a student’s iPhone 13 Pro Max with a hammer has sparked outrage and widespread condemnation online.
The footage, which shows the lecturer repeatedly striking the phone while students look on in shock, raises questions about the motives behind such an extreme reaction, especially as there has been no official explanation from the institution involved.
Social media has been ablaze with reactions, with many users criticizing the lecturer’s behavior as unprofessional and disproportionate.
Some speculate that the student may have been using the phone during an exam, while others highlight broader systemic issues within Nigerian educational institutions.
Comments like those from user @Broda_Kenny suggest a culture where such harsh punishments are normalized, while @TheTifeFab warns of the implications if such attitudes persist among future leaders. The incident has ignited discussions about accountability and the need for reform in how students are treated, with many calling for a reassessment of disciplinary practices in educational settings.
