A shocking video showing the battered body of a young schoolgirl allegedly assaulted by her teacher has sparked outrage across Nigeria. The disturbing incident reportedly occurred on Monday at a private school in Abakpa Nike, Enugu State.
The viral clip shows the child’s distraught mother weeping as she exposes the bruises covering her daughter’s back and legs, while bystanders demanded that the teacher responsible be brought out to face justice.
“I want to show you people my baby’s wound. Are you seeing what a teacher did to my child?” the mother cried in the video.
She claimed she received a call from the school after her daughter was flogged so severely that she could no longer walk.
The video has since triggered a wave of condemnation from Nigerians on social media, with many calling for the Enugu State Ministry of Education and law enforcement agencies to take immediate action against the school and the teacher involved.
As of the time of this report, no official statement has been released by the school or by state authorities regarding the incident.
The case adds to growing public concern over corporal punishment and child abuse in Nigerian schools, prompting renewed calls for stricter enforcement of child protection laws.
