The incident has ignited a storm of mixed reactions online. While some users condemned the lecturer’s action as extreme, others hailed it as a bold stand against the growing trend of exam malpractice.

Social Media Reactions:

@mulamoney_911: “Destroy my phone after school ur family no go ever see you again I swr.”

@DatNaijaGuy1: “I can’t fault the lecturer if there is a bylaw banning the use of smartphones for examination malpractice… 89% of Nigerians don’t face the penalty for breaking laws. Kudos to the lecturer. Others will learn…”

@ayo_keker3: “How come the battery didn’t start smoking? Maybe it was an experiment with a dummy phone.”

@streetupdate24_: “Make him try am for UniBen.”

@fortunateozuyak: “Choose between your phone or face exams malpractice panel.”

The incident raises broader questions about the limits of disciplinary actions in academic environments and the growing reliance on smartphones—both for productivity and as tools for cheating. While some argue that the destruction of private property is unjustifiable, others see it as a wake-up call to students engaging in academic dishonesty.
