The FCT Police Command has deployed its officers to the Lead British International School, Abuja, over some disturbing video depicting the bullying of a female student by her peer.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday, April 23.
She noted that the move was a proactive response to concerns raised by some Nigerians regarding the viral videos depicting the bullying of students at the school.
She also revealed that the police were on top of the situation while noting that the investigation was ongoing.
“The FCT Police Command is on top of the situation and has deployed seasoned officers to the school premises for investigations and to forestall any possible breakdown of law and order,” Adeh said.
A third video depicting a separate case of bullying at the Lead British International School, Abuja emerged on Tuesday.
In the new video, some male students in the school’s uniform were seen surrounding another boy who appeared to be in casual attire.
A student slapped the boy who was on his knees, and then some of the other boys who were gathered appealed to stop the ‘bully’ from further harming the boy, who was later whisked away in the nine-second video.
An X user, @PopoolaJoke4, who posted the video wrote: “No be the same school?”
The videos have been generating reactions especially on X.
An X user, @moooyeeeee, had on Monday night posted two videos of a female student of the school being repeatedly slapped by another female classmate.
However, the management of Lead British International School, Abuja, in a statement on Tuesday, said it had begun an investigation into the matter.
Meanwhile, the school has been shut down to allow investigations into the matter.
