A female student of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) is making headlines after publicly apologizing to a schoolmate following a ₦15 million lawsuit filed against her.
In a statement that has gone viral on social media, the student expressed deep remorse, describing the incident that led to the legal action as “regrettable” and assuring that such behavior would never recur.
“I’m truly sorry for my actions,” she said. “I beg my schoolmate to forgive me. Such will not repeat itself.”
Details of the case remain sketchy, but sources indicate that the lawsuit stems from a serious dispute between the two students, which escalated to legal proceedings involving significant financial claims. The ₦15 million suit reportedly has caused shock and debate among the OAU community.
Social media reactions have been divided. Some users have commended her for showing accountability and humility in the face of legal action, while others argue that the apology, coming after a costly lawsuit, may be too little, too late.
The incident has reignited conversations about student conduct, conflict resolution, and the growing trend of litigations among university students in Nigeria.
For now, all eyes are on the school and the courts to see whether the apology will influence the outcome of the ₦15 million claim, or if the legal battle will continue to escalate.
