Stella Nwadigo, a teacher at Christ-Mitots School in Ikorodu, has been arrested after a disturbing video surfaced online showing her repeatedly slapping a 3-year-old boy, Abayomi Micheal.
The incident reportedly occurred during a lesson when the young boy struggled to grasp the material being taught. In the footage, the teacher can be seen striking the child multiple times, an act that has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation.
Viewers expressed heartbreak and anger, with many commenting on the physical and emotional toll such abuse would have on a child so young. Authorities have since stepped in, and Nwadigo is now in police custody as investigations continue.
Parents and child rights advocates are calling for stricter measures to ensure the safety and well-being of children in schools.
