Tension reportedly flared at Elizade University, Ondo State, after a visitor who came to celebrate his brother’s birthday was allegedly assaulted by a security officer while leaving the campus.
According to eyewitness accounts, the visitor had gone to the university to celebrate his brother’s birthday alongside some of his friends. He reportedly arrived with a cake and other gifts, but was informed by university authorities that cakes were not permitted on campus.
Sources said the visitor complied with the directive and decided to leave the premises peacefully with his friends. However, the situation allegedly escalated as they were exiting the school.
Eyewitnesses claimed that a security official began shouting at the visitor, questioning his presence despite being informed that he was a guest.
The visitor reportedly asked why he was being shouted at, insisting that he had come solely to celebrate his brother’s birthday.
According to one of the visitor’s friends, the confrontation intensified when the security officer allegedly demanded handcuffs.
The alleged assault reportedly occurred in public view, leading to claims of humiliation and distress for the visitor.
“We were already on our way out of the school when the man started shouting at him. The guy asked why he was being shouted at and said he was a visitor. The man got angry and started asking for handcuffs. He kept saying he only came for his brother’s birthday. That was when the man slapped him on the face, not once, but twice.” An eyewitness recounted
As of the time of filing this report, Elizade University management has not released an official statement addressing the incident or the allegations against the security officer.
The development has raised concerns among students and members of the public over the conduct of security personnel and the treatment of visitors on university campuses.
