A final-year student at Lagos State University (LASU) has shared a heartbreaking experience that has ignited widespread outrage. The student, who had already endured an extra year due to academic setbacks, was reportedly forced to lie down in the rain and beg a dean for leniency.
The incident, which surfaced through a viral video, has led to emotional distress among students, with reports of some fainting in their hostels due to the psychological toll. The university has yet to release an official statement, but calls for an independent investigation and disciplinary action against the dean continue to grow.
Social media users have condemned the act, describing it as dehumanizing and demanding accountability. Many have emphasized the need for respect and empathy in educational institutions, urging authorities to uphold students’ dignity.
