Earlier today, a disturbing video depicting secondary school students bullying another girl circulated online, prompting widespread outrage.
The video captured the victim being slapped multiple times across the face, amplifying the gravity of the situation.
Joining the discourse surrounding this incident, Neo Akpofure, a notable figure, shared his perspective on the matter. He recounted a personal experience, revealing that his nephew had also been a victim of bullying in a boarding school. Akpofure emphasized the importance of standing against bullying, stating,
This whole bullying matter just made me remember when my nephew got bullied in boarding school, nah that day them know say you no dey bully pikin wen come from Big Family.”
