Lagos, Nigeria — A Nigerian mother has been left in a state of shock and outrage after her 2-year-old daughter returned home from school covered in bruises, allegedly beaten by her teacher for soiling herself. The incident has sparked public outcry, leading to demands for swift action against the responsible party.
In a heart-wrenching account, the mother recounted her daughter's ordeal: "This is my daughter. She is 2 years old. She came back home with bruises on her body. I asked her what happened and she said her teacher beat her up. In her words, 'My teacher beat me in the toilet.' Why did she beat you? She said she pooped on herself and that is why the teacher beat her. Note, this is not her teacher. It's her minder, which is her nanny. Their nanny in school beat her up because she soiled herself."
The distressed mother took immediate action, contacting the school authorities and sharing videos of her daughter's injuries. Expressing her disbelief, she emphasized that the school had a strict policy against corporal punishment, especially towards young children.
The incident has prompted a swift response from the school administration, which launched an investigation into the allegations. The proprietress, head teacher, and other staff members have been informed of the situation. The mother expressed her dissatisfaction with the incident, demanding justice for her daughter and reassurances that such incidents would not occur again within the school.
The school's proprietress, upon learning about the incident, expressed shock and promised a thorough internal inquiry. "We are deeply saddened by this incident. The safety and well-being of our students are our utmost priority. We will conduct a comprehensive investigation into the matter and take appropriate action against anyone found guilty," she stated.
