The Federal Polytechnic Nekede, Owerri, in Imo State, suspended a facilitator, Mr. Okoroafor Ifeanyichukwu, from duty on Friday after he was seen in a viral video assaulting a male student.
The suspension was contained in a memo signed by the Director, Technical and Entrepreneurship Development Centre (TEDC), Engineer Okoye P.C., with reference FPN/TEDC/80/1 and dated March 14th, 2025.
In a viral video surfaced late Thursday showed the suspended facilitator slapping a male student, Chidera, and then kicking him, causing him to fall heavily onto a cemented walkway, damaging his phone. The facilitator then walked away.
The statement reads “You are hereby suspended from duty as a facilitator in the Technical and Entrepreneurship Development Centre pending the outcome of investigation into the incident that occurred yesterday 13th March, 2025 at the site of your entrepreneurship training.”
The statement further noted that Okoroafor remains suspended pending the outcome of an investigation into the incident, while the office of the Rector, the Dean of Student Affairs, and the Student Union Government were copied in the suspension letter.
