Lolade Siyonbola, who is studying for a master’s degree in African studies, was asked for identification even after she used her key to unlock her bedroom during the encounter with three officers.
The woman who reported her said she had found an “unauthorised person in the common room”, according to university authorities quoted by The New York Times.

Ms Siyonbola, who showed police she had a key to her room and later provided them with her ID card, accused the officers of harassing her.
“I deserve to be here,” she said in the video. “I paid tuition like everybody else. I am not going to justify my existence here. It’s not even a conversation.”
In one of the clips, an officer told Ms Siyonbola: “We determine who is allowed to be here or who’s not allowed to be here, regardless of whether you feel you’re allowed to be here or not.”
