Videos of female students bullying a lone female student at Lead British School, Abuja, has sparked outrage online.
In videos shared online, female students, dressed in school uniform, are seen slapping one female student identified as Namtira.
“What’s the boy’s name?” they asked as they confronted her and slapped her across both cheeks.
Another video shows one of the bullies, identified as Maryam, asking, “Who broke my heart?” repeatedly as she slapped Namtira.
She then warned “don’t touch my hand” as Namtira tried to protect herself from the slaps.
Afterwards, Namtira stopped trying to prevent the slaps and calmly took them.
Students in the background are heard claiming Namtira “snatched” someone as they confronted her.
Namtira Bwala, said to be the daughter of author Daniel Bwala, did not retaliate as they hit her.
The video has sparked outrage and led to the hashtag #JusticeForNamtira.
Lead British School reacted after the video went viral.
They said they have initiated an investigation and will be working with the perpetrators and their families while providing support for the victim.
Watch the videos below.
This video is very triggering and painful to watch.
