Deji Adeyanju & Partners, a prominent legal firm, has issued a stern ultimatum to Lead British International School in Abuja, demanding swift and severe sanctions against alleged student bullies, setting the stage for potential legal action.
Amidst escalating concerns over bullying incidents, Deji Adeyanju & Partners has taken a decisive stand, urging Lead British International School to take immediate action against identified perpetrators accused of assault, battery, and bullying.
The law firm’s demand, conveyed in a letter dated April 23, 2024, and signed by Marvin Omorogbe, Esq, emphasizes the urgency of addressing the disturbing trend of bullying within the school’s premises.
The letter highlights specific students, including Miss Maryam Hassan and Miss Faliya, allegedly leading a group of bullies, prompting widespread condemnation and calls for justice.
The recent closure of the school by government authorities underscores the gravity of the situation, following the viral video depicting the harrowing ordeal of Miss Namtira Bwala, who endured physical and emotional trauma at the hands of her peers.
Public outrage and demands for accountability have surged, with Nigerians demanding decisive measures to curb bullying and ensure the safety of students within educational institutions.
While the school management has initiated an investigation, the clock is ticking as Deji Adeyanju & Partners sets a 48-hour deadline for the imposition of stringent sanctions against the accused bullies.
Failure to act, warns the legal firm, will result in legal repercussions, signaling a potential legal storm looming over Lead British International School.
As the nation watches closely, the spotlight remains on the school’s response and the broader implications for addressing bullying in educational settings
