The bullied student of Lead British International School, Miss. Namtira Bwala, has sued the students who bullied her, News About Nigeria reports.
In a letter signed through her solicitors, Deji Adeyanju and Partners, Bwala called for an immediate investigation into the incident and stated that punishment be meted out accordingly to Ms.Maryam Hassan, Miss Faliya, and nine other students.
Recall that Bwala was seen being bullied by a group of students in the school in a viral video posted on the internet on April 22, 2024.
Bwala, however, noted that if the school authorities fail to sanction the student bullies within 48 hours of the receipt of the letter, she will seek immediate and severe legal redress against the school.
“We are solicitors to Miss. Namtira Bwala (acting through her next friend), hereinafter referred to as our client, on whose instructions we act.
“Our client and several other parents in Lead British International School have informed us and we verily believe them, that this act of bullying is a reoccurring issue in the school, and despite several attempts to draw the school’s attention to it, the issue has persisted, leaving our client traumatised from the emotional and physical effects of the oppressive acts by these dare devil bullies.
“Regrettably, our client has once again been subjected to physical attacks at the hands of these bullies, with the video of the act going viral on social media,” the letter reads in part.
Bwala further condemned what she described as a timid statement lacking in force or recognition of the severity of the situation at hand, issued by the school, rather than addressing the issue.
She maintained that she dissociates herself from the statement issued by the school, where the incident was referred to as an incident between minors.
Bwala asked the school authorities to immediately investigate and pronounce the stiffest possible sanctions in the student’s rule book.
