Ikorodu teacher arrested for maltreating 3-year-old over writing struggle

The Lagos State Government has arrested a female Ikorodu teacher, Mrs. Stella Nwadigo, following a viral video showing her maltreating a 3-year-old boy, Abayomi Michael, during a writing lesson.
The video, recorded by an anonymous individual, revealed Mrs. Nwadigo of Christ-Mitots School in Ikorodu slapping and yelling at the child as he struggled to write the numeral “6.”
The teacher’s actions sparked public outrage, leading to swift intervention by the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA).
Barely hours after the video surfaced online, the DSVA confirmed the teacher’s arrest, highlighting the state’s commitment to protecting children from abuse.
Further investigations are underway to ensure justice for the young boy and prevent such incidents in the future.
Lagos DSVA’s statement on the arrest of teacher
“We appreciate everyone who brought the disturbing incident of a teacher who was recorded physically abusing a 3-year-old boy to our attention.
“We are pleased to inform the public that the teacher in question has been arrested by Owutu FSU, and an investigation has commenced in earnest. Indeed, institutions of learning should be safe, warm, and protective environments for all children in their care.
“The State Government remains committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of every child by enforcing strict regulations, holding offenders accountable, and working with stakeholders to promote a zero-tolerance policy for abuse in any form.”
