Another Victim Of Abuja School Bullying Surfaces
Another student from the Lead British International School has come forward to report a bullying incident.
Although the identity of the student is yet to be made public, it was learnt that the student has engaged the services of a lawyer as regards the matter.
The media space on Tuesday was thrown into a frenzy when a video of a female student who was being bullied by her co-students surfaced.
An X user, @moooyeeeee, had on Monday night posted two videos of a female student of the school being repeatedly slapped by another female student.
The user called for justice for the victim.
The videos angered internet users on X who condemned the incident and called for the school authorities to investigate and punish the culprits.
Meanwhile, the bullied student and one of her bullies in the viral video have been identified.
The school has been temporarily closed for three days and the school’s management vowed to investigate the matter.
Though one of the identified bullies apologised for her misconduct, the bullied, through her lawyers, Deji Adeyanju and Partners, has demanded heavy sanctions on her bullies.
Speaking with Adeyanju on the progress made so far, PUNCH Online learnt that the parents of another student of the school had also reached out for legal services.
“We have also been briefed by another parent that their son was bullied and we are to deliver the second letter to them today. We will send you a copy as soon as that is delivered to the school.”
The bullied, in her letter on Tuesday, had threatened to take legal action against the school should the management not take drastic steps against the 11 bullies she identified.
