Afrobeat singer, songwriter and music producer David Adeleke, better known as Davido, expressed his displeasure over a viral video showing a student of Igbinedion Secondary School in Edo State being brutally assaulted by two of his classmates.
He condemned the incident on Sunday via a post on his official X (formerly Twitter) page.
In the viral video, two male students are seen repeatedly assaulting a fellow student who had fallen to the ground.
At one point, one of the attackers drags the victim by his school uniform and stomps on his chest and head while the boy cries out in pain.
A third student, recording the incident, can be heard begging them to stop.

The disturbing footage elicited widespread outrage, prompting immediate action from school authorities.
The management of the institution has since expelled the students involved in the bullying and suspended the student who filmed the encounter.
A statement by the spokesperson of the Edo State Police Command, Eno Ikioyedem, also confirmed the disciplinary actions.
The statement added, “The Edo State Police Command strongly condemns acts of bullying, violence, or intimidation among students, and anyone found culpable will face the full weight of the law.”
Reacting to the brutal incident via his verified handle, Davido wrote: “Fuckin animals… so disgusting.”
