A prominent singer has joined the growing public outrage over a disturbing viral video showing Stella Nwadigo, a teacher, repeatedly striking a three-year-old boy during a numeracy lesson.
The incident, which sparked widespread condemnation on social media, has led to Nwadigo’s remand for indecent treatment and assault of the child. Authorities confirmed that the teacher is now facing legal proceedings for her actions.
In a statement shared online, the singer expressed disgust at the behavior captured in the video, emphasizing the need to protect children from abusive practices. “There’s no justification for such violence against a child. Educators must foster safe learning environments,” the artist stated.
The video has reignited debates about corporal punishment in schools, with advocacy groups calling for stricter regulations and better teacher training to ensure children’s welfare.
Authorities have assured the public that justice will be served, urging parents and caregivers to report similar incidents to safeguard children from harm. Meanwhile, the boy’s family has requested privacy as they focus on his recovery.
