A disturbing video currently circulating on social media has sparked widespread reactions after it captured the moment a young man, reportedly a student of Ekiti State University (EKSU), was confronted and allegedly assaulted by a group of other young men.
In the viral clip, the victim is seen seated while several individuals surround him, verbally confronting and physically attacking him. The assault reportedly followed accusations that the young man is gay, a claim that has not been independently verified.

The footage, which has since gained traction across various social media platforms, shows the attackers acting aggressively as onlookers record the incident. The exact location within the university and the date of the incident remain unclear as of the time of filing this report.
The video has triggered mixed reactions online, with many users condemning the alleged assault and calling for the school authorities and relevant security agencies to urgently investigate the incident. Others have raised concerns about mob action, students’ safety on campus, and the growing trend of taking the law into one’s own hands.
As of now, neither the management of Ekiti State University nor law enforcement agencies have issued an official statement regarding the video or confirmed whether any arrests have been made.
The incident adds to ongoing conversations about campus safety, human rights, and the dangers of mob justice in Nigerian tertiary institutions.
