Kassim Afegbua, the information commissioner in Edo State, has expressed his worries regarding the events connected to a recent bullying case that occurred at the Igbinedion Education Centre in Benin City.
During a discussion with Channels Television, Afegbua reacted to a viral video showing a student being assaulted by peers on campus.
The commissioner remarked that the writing visible in the area where the incident took place raised significant doubts about the level of supervision in the school while commenting on the footage.
"Well, it's as if you are reading my thoughts because while we were in the studio watching that specific video, when I noticed that writing, I was curious about how such a room could exist in a school without teachers taking action to investigate why there was that kind of writing," he stated.
Afegbua stressed that this incident underscores the necessity for increased awareness from both parents and educators, alongside addressing the students' conduct. Nonetheless, as I previously indicated, it is vital that teachers carry out their duties effectively, and that parents also play their part.
