Viral Video Shows Horrific Injury Inflicted On SS3 Student Of Navy School By A Naval Officer; Navy Responds

A naval officer has reportedly brutalized a senior student of the Nigerian Navy Secondary School, Abeokuta, Ogun State.

A video showing the horrific injury the student sustained is currently circulating online. The boy, an SS3 student is seen in the video, showing his bruised back to others following the brutal flogging.

The video was shared on Facebook by user Vivian Madu. She wrote in the caption:

“This inhuman and degrading treatment was meted out to an SS 3 student of Nigerian Navy Secondary School Abeokuta under the watch of a female Commandant Mrs Jecinta Uche Asetuebube by a Sub Lt Rollins Okoji.

When the Commandant was first contacted she denied the video because the victims nickname is NDA but further investigation revealed that this happened sometime before the end of the last term.”
