The shocking incident involved her son being assaulted by a senior student in their dormitory on June 30, 2023, under bizarre circumstances. A video of the assault circulated on social media, showed the senior student forcefully hitting the victim's face against a metal bed, resulting in bleeding below his right eye. Although the elder brother of the victim had watched the video, Ms. Afari shared that she was yet to do so. The family was alerted to the incident when the elder brother saw the video and promptly informed the housemaster, who later contacted Ms. Afari to explain the situation. Even though the video started circulating very recently, the statement noted that: "the incident happened on the 30th of June, 2023 in Quaque house."
