Students in the viral video bullying a junior student of Igbinedion Education Centre, Benin have been expelled from school.

COMMUNIQUÉ FROM THE BOARD AND MANAGEMENT OF IGBINEDION EDUCATION CENTRE, BENIN CITY

The Board and Management of Igbinedion Education Centre, Benin City, wish to address the unfortunate incident of bullying involving a group of students of the school which has recently come to public attention.

First and foremost, we unequivocally condemn all forms of bullying, intimidation, or violence among students. Such behaviour is completely inconsistent with the core values of discipline, respect, responsibility, and compassion upon which our institution was founded.

Following a thorough preliminary review of the incident, the students involved in perpetrating the act have been immediately expelled from the school in accordance with our zero-tolerance policy for bullying and misconduct. The school has also invited the Nigeria Police Force to formally document the incident and ensure that due process is followed in line with the law.

In addition, the student who was subjected to the bullying was promptly taken to an independent hospital for professional medical evaluation and care, and the school continues to cooperate fully to ensure the child’s well-being and safety.

We deeply regret that such an incident occurred within our school community. On behalf of the Board and Management of Igbinedion Education Centre, we offer our sincere apologies to the affected student and family, our students, parents, alumni, and all concerned Nigerians who rightly expect the highest standards of conduct and protection for every child entrusted to our care.

The safety, dignity, and welfare of every student remain our highest priority. We are currently strengthening our internal monitoring, guidance, and student conduct systems to ensure that incidents of this nature never occur again.

Igbinedion Education Centre remains firmly committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and disciplined environment where every child can learn, grow, and thrive without fear.

Signed
Board and Management
Igbinedion Education Centre
Benin City, Edo State

A statement by the management of the school said announcing the expulsion reads:

“We are aware of a video currently circulating online showing a serious incident of bullying and physical assault involving students at the school.

“The behaviour shown in the video is deeply disturbing and stands in direct violation of the values and standards we uphold. The school maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy toward bullying, cultism, intimidation, harassment, and any form of violence.

“Following an immediate investigation, the students responsible have been EXPELLED from the school with immediate effect. Such conduct will never be tolerated within our school community.

Our priority remains the safety, dignity, and wellbeing of every student. We are providing support to those affected and are working closely with their families to ensure the matter is addressed with the seriousness it deserves.

“The incident has been reported to the appropriate authorities, and knowing that the students are minors, the school is cooperating fully.”

The inhumanity is some people is alarmingly scary

This is not only a case of expulsion, the perpetrators should be arrested and jailed too.

Cultism taken too far .

I feel for his parents sadly. But poor parenting could be another factor to look into, as to why some of these students behave in such a manner

But this is good riddance. Our society must be sane at all costs.

There are people who bully with their words and attitude, how do we handle such people.

Rich bullies the poor.

Way to go fellas...we must discourage bad behavior

Nice one, they should know right from childhood that there are consequences to their actions

You cant jail secondary school kids....

Why them no go do like their leaders
When them go they see policemen they collect bribe from commuters,

Politicians, lie on a constant, even change party and curse opposing party, example governor of Edo state.

So why them no go act like that

The perpetrators should also be investigated for cultist affiliation.

That's the best decision

Please do not post adverts in this section, to avoid being banned.

Rich bullies the poor.

I can't imagine how the parents and siblings of the victim will be feeling now.

This is a result of failed home upbringing.
Someone will be behaving like a dog.
May our children not end up like this.

They should be tried as adults in court.

Very good!

He won't try that nonsense again.

Wayward and callous kids.

So if the victim later dies from the injury he sustained during the attack, the perpetrators should be awarded national honours by the president instead of jailing them abi?

Orlandoo:

It's Disgraceful.
But this act could also be as a result of poor parenting, I hope you know?

Parents are failing these days. I was a private school teacher for many years and what I saw from students really made me cry.

Nothing when dem wan tell us. Those boys are cultists.

See the way he was walking with his shoulders high, no difference between him and his father sef.

minors, secondary school students

You are not far from the truth. Some parents are something else. You cannot give what you don't have. The parents themselves lack home training too. Tell me how that boy walking with his shoulders high would train his children to be responsible in life. And the cycle continues.

Expelled, then what?

These miscreants must also be handed over to the law enforcement agencies for prosecution. There are Remand Homes for boys where young criminals like this are handled.

That woman that called him "Born troway pikin" really warned my heart.

Those kids that taunted him on his way out gave him the ultimate disgrace.

May we never have children like these.

The 11th commandment.... Don't get caught!

If all students equally guilty of this wicked act are to be identified and expelled nationwide, boys population in senior secondary schools will drop over 20% overnight. That's the sad reality. Bullying is everywhere, and it's institutionalised in some type of boarding schools especially. Just as Stealing for fun of it too.


It's an unfortunate act, I specially feel sorry for the victim. Let justice be done, but let's overhaul our public institutions. Too much injustice and impunity everywhere

God bless you.

If you want to know the actual attitude of parents, look at their kids.

Gotocourt:
minors, secondary school students

Minors have Juvenile and Remand Homes where they are remanded.
Small pikin prison.

Good move, I hate bullies.

Lithiumite:

Are you kidding or truly revealing your ignorance? Are secondary school kids free to commit crimes? There is juvenile detention, and they can as well be tried like adults depends on gravity of their actions, which this case is one.

Gotocourt:
minors, secondary school students

So they should be given national honours instead?

Go and get properly educated.
There are Remand and Juvenile Homes for criminals of his age.
