A disturbing case of student violence has emerged from Bright Future Secondary School, located on Bajulaye Road in Shomolu, Lagos State, where a JSS3 student was allegedly beaten by a senior student over a minor issue.

According to reports, the altercation began when the junior student’s tie inadvertently brushed against the senior student. Despite immediately apologizing, the senior allegedly refused to accept the apology and resorted to violence, punching the younger student in the face and leaving him with visible injuries.

A video circulating on social media shows the injured boy with a swollen eye, sparking outrage among netizens.
