Public Outrage as Lagos Teacher Arrested for Assaulting Three-Year-Old Pupil
Public Outrage as Lagos Teacher Arrested for Assaulting Three-Year-Old Pupil
Nigerians have expressed widespread outrage following the emergence of a viral video showing Stella Nwadigo, a teacher at Christ-Mitots International School in Isawo, Ikorodu, Lagos State, physically assaulting a three-year-old pupil, Abayomi Michael. The incident reportedly occurred during a writing lesson where the pupil struggled to write as instructed.
Details of the Incident
In the video, Nwadigo is seen repeatedly slapping Abayomi while instructing him to write the number six. The footage, shared widely on social media, has drawn condemnation from Nigerians across various sectors, with many calling for justice for the young boy.
The shocking display of abuse has also raised concerns about child protection and the conduct of educators in Nigerian schools.
Official Response
The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) has confirmed Nwadigo’s arrest. In a phone interview on Wednesday, the agency’s Executive Secretary, Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi, assured the public that appropriate measures were being taken to address the matter.
“The teacher is in custody, and investigations are ongoing. The government is committed to ensuring justice for the young boy,” Vivour-Adeniyi said.
The Lagos State Ministry of Education also weighed in, with spokesperson Kayode Sutton confirming that the incident had been escalated to relevant authorities for further investigation. “This matter has been forwarded to the appropriate quarters, and we are working to ensure that due process is followed,” Sutton stated.
Public Reaction
The video has sparked an uproar on social media, with many Nigerians condemning the teacher’s actions and demanding accountability. Prominent social commentator, VeryDarkMan, was among those who voiced their outrage.
“To the owners of Christ-Mitots, you have just 24 hours to explain why the teacher treated that child in such a way. I’ve never been to Ikorodu, but I’ll fly to that school,” he declared in a video shared online.
He further threatened to organize a protest at the school, urging Nigerians to rally around the case to prevent similar incidents. “Imagine if the child had fallen and gotten injured; they would have likely fabricated a story to cover up the abuse,” he said, suggesting that this might not be the teacher’s first offence.
Broader Implications
The incident has reignited conversations about the state of education and child welfare in Nigeria. Many critics have called for stricter vetting and training processes for teachers, as well as enhanced monitoring systems to safeguard children from abuse in schools.
Child rights advocates have also demanded that the Lagos State government impose severe penalties on schools and educators involved in such acts, emphasizing the need to prioritize the safety and well-being of children.
Next Steps
The DSVA and Lagos State Ministry of Education have assured the public that investigations are ongoing, with further updates expected in the coming days. In the meantime, Nigerians are watching closely to ensure that justice is served and measures are implemented to prevent similar incidents in the future.

NASRE: Building A Safety Net For Nigeria’s Journalists
NASRE: Building A Safety Net For Nigeria’s Journalists
At a time when Nigeria’s media industry is strained by economic uncertainty, job instability, and shrinking newsroom resources, the Nigerian Association of Social and Resourceful Editors (NASRE) is redefining professional solidarity. More than a network of editors, it is emerging as a critical support system for journalists navigating an increasingly precarious landscape.
Founded on the principles of welfare, solidarity, and professional growth, NASRE has positioned itself as a responsive and forward-looking body within the media ecosystem. While many professional associations remain focused on advocacy and training, NASRE distinguishes itself by combining these roles with direct and practical support for journalists and their families.
At the core of its mission is a clear proposition that no journalist should be abandoned in times of need. Through financial assistance, targeted outreach, and sustained engagement, the association has supported members facing hardship, as well as widows and families of deceased practitioners. These largely understated interventions have steadily earned NASRE credibility and respect across the industry.
The organisation’s approach reflects a keen awareness of the pressures confronting media professionals, including irregular pay, job insecurity, and limited institutional backing. In such an environment, NASRE’s welfare initiatives are not merely charitable, they are essential.
Beyond welfare, the association is investing in professional resilience. Through collaboration, networking, and knowledge-sharing platforms, it is equipping editors and practitioners to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving digital media space, where adaptability is no longer optional.
Headquartered in Lagos, NASRE continues to broaden its reach, attracting a growing membership united by the need for a more responsive and supportive professional community. Its expansion signals a shift in expectations within the industry, away from symbolic affiliations towards institutions that deliver measurable value.
For many observers, NASRE represents a necessary evolution, a professional body anchored not just in ideals, but in impact. By combining empathy with structure, it offers a model of what media associations can become in challenging times.
As the industry continues to evolve, organisations like NASRE may prove indispensable. In a profession devoted to telling society’s stories, it is ensuring that the storytellers themselves are not left behind.
