Davido Reacts to Edo School Bullying Video – Igbinedion Secondary School Incident Sparks Outrage

Popular Afrobeats star Davido has reacted angrily to a viral video showing a serious bullying incident involving students of Igbinedion Secondary School in Edo State.

The music star, whose real name is David Adeleke, shared his reaction on the social media platform X on Sunday, where he condemned the act in very strong words after watching the disturbing video that has been circulating online. In his reaction, he described the attackers as behaving like animals and expressed deep disgust over the incident.

The viral clip shows two male students violently attacking another student who had already fallen to the ground during the confrontation. In the footage, the victim is seen struggling while the attackers continue to hit him repeatedly without showing any sign of stopping.

At a certain moment in the video, one of the students pulls the victim by his school uniform, drags him across the ground, and steps on his chest and head while the boy cries loudly in pain. The situation becomes more disturbing as the assault continues for several seconds without intervention.

Another student who was present at the scene recorded the incident with a mobile phone. While recording, the student could be heard pleading with the attackers to stop the violence, but the warning was ignored as the bullying continued.

The shocking video quickly spread across different social media platforms, causing massive reactions from the public. Many users online expressed anger, disappointment, and concern over the level of violence seen among students, which led to calls for immediate disciplinary action from the school authorities and law-enforcement agencies.

Following the public outrage, the management of the school took swift action by expelling the students who were directly involved in the physical assault. The student who recorded the video was also punished and given suspension for participating in the incident by filming instead of stopping the fight.

In an official statement released afterwards, the Edo State Police Command confirmed that disciplinary measures had already been taken against the students involved in the bullying case.

According to the statement, the Police Public Relations Officer, Eno Ikioyedem, explained that the Commissioner of Police, Monday Agbonika, has ordered the Divisional Police Officer in charge of the area to begin a complete investigation into the incident in order to ensure that justice is served.

The police authority also made it clear that acts of bullying, violence, or intimidation among students will not be tolerated under any circumstance, adding that anyone found responsible for such behavior will face the full weight of the law.

The incident has continued to generate discussions online, with many Nigerians calling for stronger discipline in schools, improved student supervision, and stricter penalties to prevent similar situations in the future.
