A young woman at the University of the Niger, Iyienu campus, was suspended and assaulted by campus security after bravely reporting a revenge porn incident involving her nude photographs leaked by a male student.

The student identified online as Alaka was reportedly blackmailed by a guy who threatened to leak her nude images unless she paid him. She reported the harassment to university authorities. Instead of action against the perpetrator, she received a one-year suspension.
On July 18, campus security officers brutally dragged her from her hostel, beating and throwing her to the ground, then forcibly ejecting her from the premises. She was visibly traumatised and treated like a criminal.
Institutional Failures & Public Outcry
Despite repeated requests, the university’s management has remained silent failing to discipline the male student involved or issue statements responding to the viral video showing her assault.
Public outrage erupted on X (formerly Twitter), where activists condemned the victim’s suspension and called out the school’s handling of the case as grossly unjust and misogynistic. The hashtag narratives framed it as a case of brutality packaged as discipline.
Social advocates and university reformers are calling for stricter compliance with federal directives requiring Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARCs) and strengthened reporting channels.
