Lead British International School in Abuja has commenced an investigation into a viral bullying incident involving its students, following the circulation of videos depicting a student, identified as Maryam, being slapped by her peer.

The videos, shared widely on social media, showed Maryam being surrounded by fellow uniformed students while one of them proceeded to administer slaps to her face. During the altercation, derogatory comments such as “Who broke my heart” and “I spoilt her relationship” were heard within the school premises.

The incident has sparked outrage among Nigerians on social media, prompting calls for appropriate measures to be taken against the perpetrator.

In response, the school’s management released a statement on Tuesday, expressing deep concern over the bullying incident and affirming its commitment to addressing the matter seriously.
