A disturbing video has gone viral on social media showing a group of female students at Seat of Wisdom Secondary School in Aliade, Benue State, allegedly stripping a fellow female student naked and subjecting her to sexual harassment.

The incident reportedly occurred on the school premises, where five to ten girls in school uniforms ganged up on their peer. In the footage, the victim is seen struggling to cover herself while her classmates pull off her uniform amid laughter and jeers. Some of the perpetrators allegedly recorded the assault themselves, with videos and photos quickly spreading online.

The video surfaced on Monday, March 30, 2026, triggering widespread public outrage and condemnation across social media platforms. Many Nigerians have called for immediate action, tagging relevant authorities and demanding justice for the victim. Watch the video in the comment section.

RESPONSIBLE SPEECH IS THE FOUNDATION OF UNITY, PEACE, AND PROGRESS.
...Says Varsity Don.

A university don, Professor Ebenezer Oluseun Ogungbe has called for the responsible use of language as a foundation for peaceful and productive living.

He made the call while making presentation during the 27th Inaugural Lecture titled “Bridling the Unbridled Tongue for Idyllic and Productive Living: A Critical Discourse Analyst’s Yoke,” at the Auditorium of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai.

As the Inaugural Lecturer, Professor Ogungbe emphasized the need for restraint in speech, urging individuals to be mindful of what they say and what they choose to share.

According to him, not everything seen or heard should be spoken about, as careless utterances can have far-reaching consequences. Citing a 2024 report by Amnesty International, he noted that hundreds of violent incidents in Nigeria have been linked to inflammatory and harmful expressions.

He further highlighted the growing cases of depression and suicide resulting from verbal abuse, particularly among students who face insults, humiliation, and discouraging remarks from both lecturers and peers.

The Professor shared real-life experiences, including that of a postgraduate student who withdrew from his studies after being verbally demeaned by a lecturer.

He stressed that such instances reflect a broader societal problem where language is often misused across different sectors; politics, media, religion, and interpersonal relationships, leading to misinformation, hate speech, and social division.

He warned that words, when misapplied, can destroy self-worth, trigger conflict, and undermine national unity.
Tracing his academic journey, Professor Ogungbe explained how his work in critical discourse analysis, critical literacy, and social semiotics has been driven by the need to address these societal challenges.

He described language as a powerful tool that must be used with caution, noting that it can either promote peace or fuel crisis depending on how it is deployed. He also stressed that Nigeria’s diverse cultural and religious landscape makes it even more important for citizens to adopt respectful and context-sensitive communication.

As part of his recommendations, the Professor called for the inclusion of critical literacy in secondary school curricula and General Studies programmes in tertiary institutions. He urged political leaders, lecturers, religious figures, and media practitioners to adopt responsible and ethical communication, emphasizing that words must be used with accuracy, truth, and respect.

He also advised Nigerians to avoid harmful stereotypes, unverified information, and generalisations capable of inciting tension.

Professor Ogungbe further recommended that individuals develop emotional intelligence by thinking before speaking or reacting, especially when confronted with offensive language. He stressed the need for journalists to embrace peace journalism by avoiding reports that could inflame conflicts, while also calling on institutions to introduce peace linguistics as a field of study. Additionally, he tasked agencies like the National Orientation Agency to intensify public enlightenment on the dangers of hate speech, fake news, and inflammatory discourse.

He concluded that responsible language use is essential for national unity, peaceful coexistence, and sustainable development, urging all Nigerians to see communication not just as a right, but as a responsibility.

Earlier While declaring the inaugural lecture open, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Mohammed Hadi Sulaiman, described the lecture title as intellectually rich, though complex in expression.

He noted that a simpler phrasing might have made it more accessible, but acknowledged that such depth reflects the scholarly strength of Professor Ebenezer Ogungbe.

Drawing from personal experience, the Vice-Chancellor praised the lecturer’s versatility, likening the tongue to a multifunctional organ whose use can either benefit or harm an individual. He stressed that recent public events have shown how past utterances can resurface with consequences, underscoring the urgent need for caution and discipline in speech.

Professor Sulaiman emphasized that the core message of the lecture, controlling the tongue for peaceful and productive living,is timely, especially as Nigeria approaches the 2027 general elections.

He urged staff, students, and the wider public to be mindful of their utterances, warning that careless or provocative statements, even if true, could attract serious consequences and disrupt societal harmony. According to him, responsible communication is essential to maintaining peace and preventing unnecessary tension in both academic and political spaces.

The Vice-Chancellor also used the occasion to encourage professors who are yet to deliver their inaugural lectures to do so, describing it as a vital academic responsibility and a platform for sharing years of research with society.

He assured staff of the University’s commitment to supporting scholarly activities, including research funding opportunities. Additionally, he clarified that the Institution is a state-owned one, not a private entity, and is steadily competing with leading universities through strong research output and academic excellence.

In his address, the Acting Chairman of the Senate Committee on Conferences and Seminars, Professor Kabir Mohammed Adamu, described the occasion as a significant moment for Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, celebrating knowledge, academic excellence, and the achievements of one of its pioneering scholars, Professor Ebenezer Oluseun Ogungbe.

He noted that Professor Ogungbe has risen through the academic ranks from Assistant Lecturer to Professor of English Language, specializing in discourse analysis and social semiotics, while also serving the University in various capacities. According to him, the Inaugural Lecture titled, “Bridling the Unbridled Tongue for Idyllic and Productive Living: A Critical Discourse Analyst’s Yoke” reflects a deep and timely exploration of how unchecked speech and careless use of language can impact society, and how disciplined discourse can promote harmony and productivity.

Professor Adamu further commended the Vice-Chancellor for sustaining a culture that promotes intellectual engagement, research, and interdisciplinary dialogue through such platforms.

He congratulated Professor Ogungbe on the honour of delivering the 27th inaugural lecture, describing it as a recognition of his dedication to teaching, research, and academic advancement, adding that the event not only celebrates the Lecturer’s accomplishments, but also provides an opportunity for the academic community to benefit from his wealth of knowledge.

He concluded by welcoming guests and announcing that the 28th inaugural lecture would be delivered by Professor Olufemi Igeawande of the Department of Animal Production, expressing hope that the session would be both enlightening and impactful.

The Registrar and Secretary to Council of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Alhaji Idris Saleh Kusherki, in a vote of thanks, expressed profound appreciation to the Vice-Chancellor, members of the University Management, distinguished guests, staff, and students for their presence and support in making the 27th inaugural lecture a success.

He particularly congratulated Professor Ebenezer Oluseun Ogungbe for an insightful and impactful lecture, noting that the ideas shared would contribute meaningfully to academic discourse and societal development. He also commended the organizing committee for their dedication and seamless coordination, and prayed for safe journeys for all attendees while wishing the University continued progress and excellence.

Former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), has accused the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of forcefully evicting him and his family from their family residence in Maitama, Abuja, despite ongoing court proceedings over the property.

Malami revealed that EFCC operatives stormed the house on Monday and returned on Tuesday with heavily armed personnel to complete the takeover. “Without further recourse to the court, without seeking an order to seal my properties, without seeking an order to evict my family members and me from the property, the EFCC came to effect a forceful eviction,” he said.

He described the action as “legally and judicially unprecedented,” noting that the interim forfeiture order did not authorise immediate eviction. Malami said he had already challenged the order in court, with the case adjourned to April 20, 2026, and insisted that the EFCC should have waited for judicial processes instead of taking unilateral steps. He hinted at possible political persecution, saying the timing coincided with increased goodwill messages he was receiving.

Let the law take its course. You need not whip up public sympathy by telling the world you have been evicted. Explain to the court how you got the money to build that mansion. Let's know the type of business you do or your industries. Tell us how much you earned since you started practicing law. Explain how you got the money to build a university, hotels and mansions all over the country. People wicked sha. See as Nigerians de suffer. No roads, schools, water, hospitals sake of say one person steal all the money dem for take do good things for the citizens. Chai.😡

Former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), on Tuesday confirmed that operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission forcefully evicted him and his family from their Abuja residence, despite ongoing court proceedings over the property.

Malami disclosed this while addressing journalists at a press conference, stating that EFCC officials stormed the premises on Monday and returned on Tuesday with armed personnel to complete the takeover.

“Yesterday, without further recourse to the court, without seeking an order to seal my properties, without seeking an order to evict my family members and me from the property, without seeking a court order for the appointment of a receiver manager, the EFCC came to effect a forceful eviction.

“They were unable to conclude the process yesterday and reinforced this morning with a lot of personnel that are armed and indeed forcefully took over possession of my family residence,” he said.

The former AGF identified the property as his family home located at No. 2, Koronakh Close, off Amazon Street, Maitama, Abuja.

He explained that the action followed an interim forfeiture order granted on January 6, 2026, but insisted that the order did not authorise eviction or immediate takeover of the property.

“The most interesting part of the order was that there was no clear directive or instruction… that the premises would be taken over forthwith or perhaps is being sold, or perhaps evicting the occupants,” he said.

Malami noted that he had already challenged the forfeiture order before the Federal High Court, with the case adjourned till April 20, 2026.

According to him, with both parties already before the court, the EFCC ought to have exercised restraint rather than taking unilateral enforcement steps.

“It is only natural, logical and judicial that no party is expected to overreach by taking unilateral steps that would place a court in a situation of purposelessness,” he stated.

He faulted the commission for allegedly bypassing due process, stressing that enforcement of court orders was the responsibility of judicial authorities, not litigants.

“Execution of court orders and processes is an exclusive function of court bailiffs and sheriffs… and is not in any way the prerogative of a party to the litigation,” he said.

Malami described the eviction and takeover as unlawful and outside established legal procedure.

“What happened by way of forceful eviction of my family members and forceful takeover of my properties is legally and judicially unprecedented in the Nigerian legal system,” he added.

He further alleged that the EFCC neither obtained a specific eviction order nor involved court officials before carrying out the action.

The former minister also hinted at possible political undertones, noting that the incident occurred shortly after his release from detention and during a period of increased political visits and support.

“The fact that these things happen at a time when I was receiving tremendous goodwill messages… can certainly be a basis for people to insinuate perhaps political persecution,” he said.

However, he declined to directly describe the action as a vendetta, citing the pending nature of the case.

Malami said he would pursue legal remedies to challenge the EFCC’s action.

“For me, the steps are legal, legitimate and judicial, and we will certainly embark on the judicial process to do the needful,” he added.

Efforts to reach his lawyer on the asset forfeiture case, J.B Daudu, to confirm the sealing of the properties and next legal steps were unsuccessful as of the time of filing this report, as he did not respond to repeated calls from our correspondent.

The PUNCH reported that earlier on Tuesday, the anti-corruption agency moved to take over the Maitama residence of the former AGF.

The operatives, reportedly led by Folarin Dare, arrived in about five buses, heavily armed and dressed in their red and black jackets, as they barricaded the road leading to Malami’s residence.
