Security operatives of the Yaba College of Technology (Yabatech) have reportedly assaulted a student over his dressing.
This was seen in a video uploaded online recently. The video shows the yet to be identified student being pushed to the wall and harassed over his dress style, a pair of ripped jean trouser.
The student tells the security men to leave him while other students echo the same pleas.
However, Public Relations Officer of the institution (Yabatech), Joe Ejiofor said that the initial reports was that the student slapped a security operative.
He also said the matter will be investigated further to find relevant information.

“The college has a dress code, which is clearly spelt out and pasted on the two gates. What happened was that the student had been warned on several occasions about proper behavior and when he came in this morning (Wednesday) violating the college’s dress code, the guards tried to stop him and before one knew it, he had slapped the security man and that was what triggered the scuffle.
The student had threatened the security man before that he was a member of a group and that he was going to deal with him, but we don’t train our security men to assault students; we have sent the name of the supposed student to the records office to find out if he is truly a student of the school.
The head of security will bring up a report and the college will look at it and take action from there.”
