Outrage as lecturer smashes student’s iPhone 13 Pro Max in viral video

A viral video showing a lecturer smashing a student’s iPhone 13 Pro Max with a hammer has sparked widespread outrage across social media platforms.

The incident reportedly occurred at an unnamed institution in Nigeria, though the specific circumstances leading up to the dramatic event remain unclear.

The video, which quickly gained attention online, captures the lecturer violently striking the expensive smartphone with a hammer, much to the shock and horror of onlooking students, whose screams can be heard in the background.

While the exact reason for the lecturer’s extreme actions has not been officially explained, speculation has been rife, with many online users suggesting that the student may have been caught using the phone during an exam.

The lack of official communication from the institution or those involved has only added to the confusion surrounding the incident.

The footage has triggered a wave of criticism, with many condemning the lecturer’s behaviour as unnecessarily harsh and unprofessional.

Social media has been flooded with reactions, as people question the justification for such drastic measures. Several users pointed out the potential harm and the breach of personal rights, calling for stricter regulation on how lecturers handle disciplinary issues.

One Twitter user, @Broda_Kenny, hypothesized that the student was likely caught using the phone in an exam hall, which could explain the lecturer’s frustration.

Another user, @TheTifeFab, expressed concern over how such behaviour, if unchecked, could escalate into more severe actions if individuals in such positions of power are not held accountable, stating, “Part of the abnormality they’ve normalised in Nigerian Institutions.

Now if this lecturer becomes a Governor or President later, he’ll do worse.”

The viral nature of the video has not only fueled debates about the appropriateness of the lecturer’s actions but also highlighted ongoing issues related to discipline, power dynamics, and personal rights within educational institutions in Nigeria.

Many have called for investigations into the matter and for the institution involved to take responsibility for the incident. For now, the video continues to circulate, with public demand growing for answers and accountability.
