Her words:

"When I offered to support her to find a scholarship abroad, her response what “let me speak to my parents”. And a few minutes after she came back to tell me her parents are onboard with the idea.."

Expelled student is in good mood

Also, Mkpouto said contrary to what people were saying online, Precious was not breaking down in tears because of her expulsion.

She said:

"Follow social media noise at your own risk. As people are here shouting about how Unizik did a good thing to expel that female student, and how she embarrassed her family. I spoke to the lady and, the back story is so different from the tiny clip circulating on social media. The girl is not breaking down and dying. She’s very fine. Her family is solidly behind her."

Mkpouto alleged that the lecturer was to blame, claiming that the school has been begging the student to come back and apologise so as to be reinstated.

Lady posts 'new' video, accuses UNIZIK lecturer of trying to undress female student during 'fight'

She said:

"Nigerians are such dramatic people. The University knows that their lecturer harassed that girl, that’s why they are trying so hard to save face. They are insisting that all she needs to do is release a public video apologizing and they will take her back. Apologize for what? He should be the one apologising for touching her first. Her parents are not having it. They’ve said she will not apologize. And the University is saying her friend can do it on her behalf. They just want a public apology so that it can seem like she acknowledged her wrong and they took her back. This would be the perfect opportunity to lawyer-up and sue that danm school! Because that school definitely knows they have messed up for supporting harassment of a student captured on tape. Go to court and let’s argue self-defence and see if that lecturer would ever win that case."
