The Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka (UNIZIK) has expelled Precious Mbakwe following her assault on a lecturer Chukwudi Okoye from the department of Theatre and Film Studies.
In an official expulsion letter dated February 13, 2025 and signed by acting registrar Victor Modebelu, the university confirmed that the decision followed the recommendation of the Student Disciplinary Committee.
The committee found the student’s actions to be a gross violation of the institution’s disciplinary regulations, specifically Regulation 4 (SDR).

The confrontation occurred after Precious was interrupted while recording a TikTok video on campus, sparking public outrage and calls for disciplinary action.
“The Ag. Vice-Chancellor has received the report from the Student Disciplinary Committee on the case of your assault on a lecturer from the Department of Theatre and Film Studies, which was found to be a gross misconduct and violation of the Students Disciplinary Regulations particularly Regulation 4 (SDR),” the letter stated.
