A parent at Rosebud School, Lagos, was caught on video assaulting a teacher in front of students, sparking outrage. The incident has led to calls for police intervention as Nigerians debate the responsibilities of parents and teachers in managing student discipline.
A viral video showing a parent assaulting a teacher at Rosebud School in Idimu, Lagos, has sparked widespread outrage online. The video captures the parent confronting the teacher in front of students and even threatening the school’s owner. While the exact reason for the altercation remains unclear, many social media users have condemned the parent’s actions as inappropriate, especially considering the presence of minors.
Commenters highlighted the need for accountability and appropriate dispute resolution in school settings. One user expressed that such behavior, particularly directed at a woman in a public space, was unacceptable under any circumstances. Others, however, speculated that the parent may have acted out of frustration, possibly due to perceived mistreatment of their child by the teacher. Some noted that if a child had been harmed, the appropriate course would have been to report the issue to school authorities or law enforcement.
Calls for police intervention have grown, with users tagging relevant authorities and urging for the parent’s immediate arrest.
