Teacher who ‘assaulted three-year-old pupil’ suspended indefinitely

Christ Mitots School in Ikorodu, Lagos, has suspended Stella Nwadigo, a teacher caught on video assaulting a three-year-old pupil, Abayomi Michael, during a numeracy lesson. The indefinite suspension follows widespread outrage over the incident.

The viral video, which surfaced on social media, shows the teacher slapping the young child repeatedly for struggling with the lesson. Public condemnation of the act led to Nwadigo’s arrest on Wednesday.

In response, the school issued a statement describing the teacher’s actions as unacceptable and completely at odds with their principles.

“The video circulating on social media reveals conduct that is entirely unacceptable and inconsistent with our school’s values,” the statement read. “We are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for our students, and such behavior will not be tolerated.”

The management confirmed that the teacher has been suspended indefinitely, pending the outcome of an investigation.Christ Mitots School in Ikorodu, Lagos, has suspended Stella Nwadigo, a teacher caught on video assaulting a three-year-old pupil, Abayomi Michael, during a numeracy lesson.
