Imo State University security operatives nearly stripped a female student for indecent dressing on Thursday.
The student who wore biker shorts, one of the forbidden outfits in the University, refused to leave the campus when the school security personnel confronted her.
In a bid to enforce decency among students, the University banned a number of outfits and according to our campus correspondent, the reason is to avoid unnecessary attention as well as cut down on sexual harassment in the school.
“The female student was embarrassed by security men for wearing biker shorts that looked like tight and she kept claiming her rights as a student and refused to go back to change because her home was far”
“This led the security men to almost use extreme measures as they dragged her out to the extent of almost stripping her” an eye witness told our correspondent.
Another eyewitness who thought the security personnel were too extreme said “These men should rest, what’s the difference between a short and a skirt self? Are they not the same thing?”
Cubing indecent dressing has been a challenge in most universities in Nigeria and “Operation Say No To Indecent Dressing” has been ongoing in Imo State University.
Lecturer had come together with the school security and authorities to ban any dressing that causes unnecessary attention from people.
Measures taken include incorporation of departmental uniforms and sending students home to change when they enter the campus in outfits that show intimate parts of their bodies or others that are extremely short.
