Afrobeats star Davido has condemned a viral video showing a bullying incident involving students of Igbinedion Secondary School in Edo State.
In a post on X on Sunday, the 33-year-old reacted to the footage circulating online.
“F***ing Animals… so disgusting,” he wrote.
In the video shared online, two male students were seen beating and kicking another student who was lying on the ground. One of the boys dragged the victim by his clothes and repeatedly kicked him while the student cried in pain.
The clip sparked outrage on social media, with many Nigerians condemning the attack and calling for action from authorities.
Following the incident, the management of Igbinedion Secondary School expelled the students directly involved in the bullying, while the student who filmed the video was suspended.
The Edo State Police Command also confirmed it had begun an investigation into the incident.
Police spokesperson Eno Ikioyedem said the commissioner of police in the state, Monday Agbonika, had directed the divisional police officer in charge of the area to conduct a detailed inquiry.
“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 said the school management had been invited to help identify and produce the students involved for questioning.
Authorities also urged the victim and his parents to come forward to assist the investigation, noting that expulsion from school would not stop the case from being pursued under the law.
