The Nigeria Police Force has begun a probe into a viral video which showed the moment a female undergraduate of the Bamidele Olumilua University of Education Science and Technology, Ikere in Ekiti State brutalised her fellow student. 

According to a narrator in the video, the victim was identified as Ajayi Precious Gloria and she was seen being beaten with sticks by a student of the Mass Communication department at the school. 

Despite pleas from Gloria, the bully was heard saying, "Let me draw blood from you easily or hardly” during an altercation that happened between them on Sunday within the premises of the university.

Reacting in a press statement issued by the command via its X page on Tuesday, the police stated that its operatives were not aware of the incident. 

The statement reads: “This is to inform the general public especially all concerned citizens and good people of Ekiti State that the State Police Command is not unaware of a video circulating currently on the social media where a female student of Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science and Technology, Ikere- Ekiti (BOUESTI) was seen assaulting and molesting her fellow female student. The Command describes the act as inhumane and unacceptable
