Teacher Arrested for Abuse in Classroom
Mrs. Stella Nwadigo, a teacher filmed mistreating a 3-year-old named Abayomi Michael, has been taken into custody following widespread public outcry.
The incident occurred at Christ-Mitots School in Ikorodu, where the teacher was seen slapping and shouting at the young boy as he struggled to write the number “6.”
This troubling behavior prompted immediate action from the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA).
Official Statement from Lagos DSVA
