On Friday, Chima, an uncle to the pupil, had taken to Twitter to narrate how the yet-to-be-identified teacher allegedly flogged the young girl “because she could not recite the English alphabet.”
In the post, Chima said his niece is a pupil of Unic Vilos, a Lagos-based school.
The fashion designer claimed when his sister — who is the mother of the pupil — confronted the teacher, she was told that her daughter was not the only one given such treatment.
According to him, the teacher told his sister that other pupils were also given 24 strokes of cane each.
The fashionista added that the owner of the school accused his sister of trying to destroy the school’s reputation when she reported the incident.
“This is my two-year-old niece that was flogged mercilessly because she couldn’t recite the English alphabet,” he wrote in the post accompanied by a photo of his niece.
