The FCT police say they are probing an alleged bullying involving a student of Beautiful Beginning Academy Abuja.
On 2 December, a video surfaced on social media appearing to show some senior students bullying a younger junior colleague.
The video showed the senior final-year students ordering Imitiyas, who had his neck strung up with a chain, to lie on the floor.Since going viral on social media, the footage has generated outrage and calls for a police investigation. He argued that the school has had an open-door policy that allows students to report any harassment concerns.
“There was no bullying case here at BBA. It was a make-believe. We were in school at the time. And the way we run our school, we operate an open-door policy,” he was quoted as saying.“Students, even from the nursery, come to the MD’s office, to the principal’s office, to express any concerns they might have. We don’t have that kind of bureaucracy. So, if there was any bullying at all, at least one student would have heard about it and reported it to us.
