The minister who visited the school was accompanied by some officials of her ministry.
Our correspondent also observed that one of the bullies (female) who was captured in the video was brought to the school by two elderly women.
Multiple videos of students of the school assaulting their fellow students surfaced and went viral on social media on Monday.
In one of the videos, a group of four female students were seen hitting another female student on her cheek while she sat helplessly. “Who is the boy? What is the boy’s name,” they asked repeatedly while hitting her.
The School’s management in a statement released to the public had noted that it had launched an investigation into the incident.
In a statement signed by the Head of the School, Abraham Ogunkanmbi, LBIS noted that the school has initiated an investigation and appointed a dedicated team to conduct a ‘thorough inquiry’ into the matter.
Mr Ogunakanmbi said the team is currently gathering information, including the review of the video footage and interviews with witnesses, to understand the full scope of the incident and identify the immediate and remote causes.
