A lawyer and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Daniel Bwala, has said that the young schoolgirl captured being bullied in a viral video is not his daughter as being circulated online.
Bwala said this in a statement shared on X on Tuesday morning.
A video of Mariam, the female student of Lead British International School, Abuja, being bullied by another girl has generated furore on social media.
However, Bwala said reports identifying the victim as his daughter are inaccurate.
He said,
Quote
“My attention has been drawn to a viral video circulating on all social media platforms alleging that my daughter was bullied or assaulted.
“For the records, the young girl in the video is not my daughter, I do not know her, nor do I have any of my children studying in that school.
“Whilst the young girl in the video showed extreme decorum and restraint (and should be commended), if it were any of my children, the scenario would not go without a fight in exercise of self defense
“However, I have myself reported the incident to law enforcement because it could have been anybody’s daughter, since violence and bullying is not acceptable in our society.
“I was equally told by someone who thought she was my daughter and acted before chatting me, by contacting the so-called school and that the school claimed both girls are minors and therefore should be treated as such.
“If a school can say that, you can imagine what they are teaching the students.”
