Viral Bullying Video Students To Face Juvenile Court
The Edo State Police Command has arrested students involved in a viral bullying incident at Igbinedion Education Centre, with the case set to be handled in a juvenile court.
The development follows public outrage after the video spread online.
Police said investigations traced the incident to a dispute between students that later escalated into violence.
The situation worsened after an earlier confrontation involving a parent, which led to tension among those involved.
Authorities explained that the attack captured in the video was a revenge act linked to the previous day’s events.
All those identified have now been apprehended and will face legal action under child protection laws.
The command has activated its school safety programme, urging parents and school authorities to monitor students closely.
Officials say awareness campaigns and stricter supervision will be used to prevent similar incidents in the future.
