In a statement on X on Sunday, the singer reacted to the footage circulating online.
“F***ing Animals… so disgusting,” he wrote.
In the now-viral clip shared on X, two male students were seen beating and kicking another student who was lying on the ground.
One of the students was caught dragging the victim by his suit and stamping on his chest while the child yelled in anguish, while a third student who videotaped the incident begged them to stop.
The video prompted a significant outcry on social media, triggering disciplinary action from school officials.
According to a statement signed by the command’s Police Public Relations Officer, Eno Ikioedem, the school’s administration had already expelled the students who were directly involved in bullying.
According to the statement, the student who captured the video has been suspended.
The command also stated that the state’s commissioner of police, Monday Agbonika, has asked the divisional police officer in charge of the region to conduct a thorough investigation into the event.
“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 police added that investigations had commenced and assured the public that those involved would be arrested and prosecuted in line with the law and their respective ages.
