Afrobeats star Davido has condemned a viral video showing a bullying incident involving students of Igbinedion Secondary School in Edo State.
In a post shared on X on Sunday, the singer, whose real name is David Adeleke, reacted strongly to the video circulating on social media.
“F***ing Animals… so disgusting,” he wrote.
In the viral footage posted on X, two male students were seen repeatedly beating and kicking another student who was lying helplessly on the ground.
One of the students was also seen dragging the victim by his suit and stamping on his chest while the boy cried out in pain. A third student who filmed the incident was heard pleading with them to stop.
The video triggered widespread outrage online and led to disciplinary action by the school authorities.
According to a statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer of the command, Eno Ikioedem, the management of the school has expelled the students directly involved in the bullying.
The statement also said the student who recorded the video had been suspended.
The command further revealed that the Commissioner of Police in the state, Monday Agbonika, had instructed the Divisional Police Officer in charge of the area to launch a thorough investigation into the matter.
“The Edo State Police Command totally condemns acts of bullying, violence, or intimidation among students, and anyone found culpable will be dealt with in accordance with the law,” the statement said.
The command added that investigations have begun and assured the public that those responsible would be arrested and prosecuted according to the law and their respective ages.
