Deji Adeyanju to represent bullied Abuja school students

Human Rights Lawyer, Deji Adeyanju had announced that he will represent the bullied students of Lead British International School, Abuja.

His announcement came after a viral video on Tuesday revealed how a student bullied other students.

Adeyanju in telephone conversation on Tuesday noted that he alongside the parents of the victims spent three hours with the Head of School on the next steps to take.

The activist lawyer also confirmed to our correspondent the decision of the school management to shut the school down temporarily for three days as investigations continue.

Multiple video footage of students of the school assaulting their fellow students surfaced and went viral on social media on Monday.

In one of the videos, a group of four female students were seen hitting another female student on her cheek while she sat helplessly. “Who is the boy? What is the boy’s name,” they asked repeatedly while hitting her.

The school’s management in a statement released to the public had noted that it had launched an investigation into the incident.

Adeyanju said, “I alongside the parents of the bullied students were at the school for close to three hours and it is a sad occurrence. We spoke to the Head of the School and we ensured that he announced that the school would be shut down for three days as investigations continue. The announcement was made.

“I will be taking the matter up as their lawyer and we are trying to get a letter which will be shared with you. You can be rest assured that justice will be served.”
