Two female students of the University of Abuja are under investigation by the institution’s Student Disciplinary Committee after a public fight near campus left both women with torn clothing and minor injuries. The incident occurred on Monday afternoon and has sparked discussion about conflict resolution and student conduct.
According to witnesses, the disagreement began with shouting and quickly turned physical near the university premises. Campus security arrived about 15 minutes after the fight started and intervened to separate the students. Both women sustained minor injuries and were taken to the university clinic for medical attention. University officials said counseling services have been made available to them as the investigation continues.
Witnesses reported that the altercation was linked to a dispute involving a male student named Michael. The male student was not present during the incident, according to university officials. A crowd gathered at the scene and recorded the event on mobile phones, a detail that has added to concerns about privacy and the spread of sensitive content online.
The Dean of Student Affairs described the behavior as shameful and contrary to university rules. He warned that the disciplinary process could lead to serious sanctions, including possible expulsion, depending on the outcome of the committee’s findings. University regulations prohibit violent conduct, public disturbance, and actions that bring the institution into disrepute.
A campus psychologist who commented on the case said conflicts between students over relationships are not uncommon, but the escalation to physical violence and public exposure indicates a need for better anger management and self-control. She emphasized that counseling and peer mediation programs exist on campus to help students manage disputes before they escalate.
