The authorities of Babcock University have released a press statement regarding brawl between two students in the male hostel.

The statement was releases by the Director of Marketing and Communications, Dr Joshua Suleiman:

PRESS RELEASE REPORTED STUDENT SCUFFLE IN HOSTEL

“The attention of Babcock University Administration has been drawn to a recent video clip on social media showing a scuffle between two 100 level students of the institution.

“Preliminary investigations reveal that the fight resulted from a lack of restraint by a student who alleged his roommate of using his pair of slippers without his permission/consent.

“With our zero-tolerance for bullying and physical violence of any kind, the @Babcock_Univ 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, immediately, instead, concentrated on video recording the incident.

As an institution of conscientiousness, @Babcock_Univ 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.
