Lead British International School has been shut down for three days following a viral video of bullying in the school involving some students.
According to the Leadership Newspaper, this was announced at a press briefing attended by parents in the school premises on Tuesday.
Multiple videos of students of the school assaulting their fellow students surfaced and went viral on social media on Monday.
In one of the videos, a group of four female students were seen hitting another female student on her cheek while she sat helplessly. “Who is the boy? What is the boy’s name,” they asked repeatedly while hitting her.
The management of the school expressed its disapproval of the incident and confirmed the commencement of an investigation.
There was outrage on social media following the circulation of videos showing a female student from the school being harassed by fellow students in what appears like an interrogation session.
The victim was slapped several times by another female student in the presence of other students who appeared to be privies to the action.
The Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohaneye, has visited the Lead British International School, Abuja following multiple footages of bullying that surfaced in the internet space on Tuesday.
The minister who visited the school was accompanied by some officials of her ministry.
