The Federal Government has summoned the management of Lead British International School, Abuja over allegations of bullying in the school.


This was made known by the Minister of State for Education, Dr Yusuf Sununu, on Tuesday in Abuja, at a strategic planning meeting on the nationwide campaign and advocacy for the Safe Schools Programme
Sununu, in his presentation, noted that ‘Safe Schools’ is not only targeted at attacks on schools but also to create an avenue where students are safe within the school environment.
He said, “I woke up to so many calls, and a video was forwarded to me about how a female student was maltreated by other students here in the Federal Capital Territory.
“The ministry is not taking it lightly; we have already called for an emergency meeting between the Federal Capital Territory and the authorities of that school because we believe that an attack on one is an attack on all.:
“We have also invited all the parties involved and an investigation has been launched into the issue.”
Earlier, the Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohaneye, visited the school.
On Monday, footage of pupils of the school bullying their fellow students surfaced and went viral on social media.
In one of the videos, one of the students who was perceived to be the leader of the gang was seen slapping their colleague while she sat helplessly. “Who is the boy? What is the boy’s name?” they asked repeatedly while hitting her.
Following the outrage that trailed the video and reports, the school announced shutting down activities in the school for three days.
