A viral video on X showing a student of an Abuja elite school slapping a fellow student severally over what appears to be a dispute about a boyfriend issue, has caused outrage.
The video, shared by an X user, @mooyeeeeeee, said the incident involved students of Lead British International School, Abuja.
In the video posted on Monday night, a student was seen slapping another student about her own age severally.
The video was accompanied by a post: “There’s a video I’m about to post. I need you guys to help me get justice. She was bullied in her school by her classmates at Lead British School, Abuja. Pls make it go viral so she can get justice,” the post read.
In one of the videos, the victim was seen being slapped repeatedly by another female student while asking “Who broke my heart?”.
In another video, the victim was seen sitting next to a male classmate who was heard saying “I spoilt her relationship”.
The video has drawn strong condemnations from netizens.
An X user, @knownso1 said, “This is so sad to watch, don’t care what happened but she doesn’t deserve such treatment from these rascals.
“Imagine the nonsensical boy beside her even laughing. Them suppose mend that boy. But she could at least fight back and don’t allow them treat her like a coward!!”
Another user, @Lefter_11, advised that the victims’ parents should report the incident to the police.
“Her parents should involve police and also report those children to school authorities. Some of us that went to public schools will not care to let our parents know that someone bullied or beat us , we go just arrange some friends and treat them in the language they understand,” he said
Meanwhile, another X user, @sadiqGsadiq, posted a screenshot where it was alleged that the school has a bullying problem.
The untitled screenshot also alleged that another student of the school cut her classmate with a knife but was only given a two-day suspension.
