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 notice, issued in a letter with reference FPN/TEDC/80/1 and dated March 14th, 2025, stated, “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 letter, signed by the Director of TEDC, Dr. Okoye P.C., was copied to the Rector, Dean of Student Affairs, and the Student Union Government of the institution.
A video surfaced late Thursday showing 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.
