Angry Parent Slaps Student Who Bullied Colleague In Lead British School Abuja [Video]
The controversy at Lead British International School, Abuja, escalated on Tuesday afternoon when a parent physically confronted a student involved in the viral video.
The viral video showed a female student identified as Namtira Bwala enduring physical abuse from another student, Maryam Hassan, who repeatedly slapped her, with bystanders audibly ridiculing her.
The videos sparked widespread outcry online, prompting calls for the school authorities to intervene.
Consequently, on Tuesday, several parents visited the school in an attempt to address the situation.
During the visit, Maryam Hassan, the student seen slapping her peer, was accompanied onto the premises by older male parents.
One parent, visibly agitated, confronted Maryam, questioning her actions and demanding accountability for her behavior.
The woman was heard saying ‘She is proud of what she did. You are proud of what you did! You are proud right? Someone’s child; innocent child, you beat her, did you give birth to her? I am asking you, did you give birth to her?”
The student was trying to walk away so as to avoid confrontation, but the angry parent shoved her, saying, “I’m asking you: did you give birth to her?”
Despite Maryam’s attempts to evade the confrontation, the parent forcibly engaged her, expressing outrage at her actions and delivering a slap on her face before other elderly person intervened to de-escalate the situation.
Amidst the confrontation, Maryam Hassan broke down in tears, went down on her knee and apologized for her actions.

Everyone needs to understand that this girl is not just the master mind of this bullying.
The school gave them the platform and they are aware!
Plus who is the mother of this boy??? She did a terrible job as a mother

The apology she gave is not accepted; it wasn't genuinely from the heart while discerning from the soul, she was forced to give a public apology, so expect her to repeat it next time.
Lastly, I don't know why this guy isn't penalized. Why?#JusticeForNamtira #LeadBritishSchool pic.twitter.com/353nbeKeL1
