In an official expulsion letter dated February 13, 2025, and signed by the Acting Registrar, Mr. Victor I. Modebelu, the university stated that the decision followed the recommendation of the Student Disciplinary Committee, which found the student’s actions to be a gross violation of the institution’s disciplinary regulations, specifically Regulation 4 (SDR).

The attack followed the interruption of a TikTok video she was recording on campus. The confrontation led to public outrage and calls for disciplinary action.
According to the letter, the expulsion takes immediate effect, with the university directing Precious to vacate the premises and return any university property in her possession.
This development marks a decisive move by the UNIZIK administration in maintaining discipline within the institution, and it generated widespread reactions.
