Prominent activist Adetoun Lanre Adeniyi has demanded the immediate closure of Christ-Mitots School in Ikorodu, Lagos, following the circulation of a viral video depicting immoral behavior.
It all started when the school’s female teacher Stella Nwadigo was caught assaulting a 3-year-old child Abayomi Michael, while attempting to teach him how to write numbers.
In the video circulating online, the academicians slapped the small child because he could not write the number 61.
The video quickly went viral online as social media users called for the arrest of the teacher. Many blamed her for transferring aggression on the innocent child.
Recently, Adetoun voiced her anger and urged Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to immediately shut down the school. She also called on the Commissioner for Youth and Social Development, Mr. Mobolaji Ogunlende, to take action.
According to Adetoun, sending children to school is not about compelling them but encouraging them to learn. She revealed that the teacher should not maltreat any student.
In her words, “Good Afternoon fellow citizen of Nigeria, my name is Just Adetoun, so my attention has been drawn to the video of Christ-Mitots school in Ikorodu. I’m on my way to Ikorodu. Please Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, your excellency sir. we are ordering for immediate closure of that school. This is happening under Lagos state. On a norms, this should not be happening under Lagos state.”
“I want to believe that the teacher was dreaming because you can’t beat a child to read. Na by force to learn. We are not compelling our children to read book. We are encouraging that to read. Commisioner for youth and development Mr Mobolaji Ogunlende, I trust your department to full action.”
