Politician Daniel Bwala has denied allegations that the student in a viral bullying video at Lead British International School is his daughter.
The video, which has sparked outrage online, shows a student being slapped by another student. Some Nigerians had claimed that the victim, Namtira Bwala, is the politician’s daughter.
However, in a statement, Bwala stated that the victim is not his daughter. He emphasized that if the victim were one of his children, the situation would have been different as they would have defended themselves.
**Bwala’s Statement:**
“My attention has been drawn to a viral video circulating on social media alleging that my daughter was bullied or assaulted. For the record, 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.
“While the young girl in the video showed great composure and restraint, if it were any of my children, the scenario would not go without a fight in exercise of self-defense.
“I have reported the incident to law enforcement because it could have happened to anyone’s daughter. Violence and bullying are unacceptable in our society.
“The school’s alleged response that the girls are minors and should be treated as such is concerning. It suggests that the school may not be adequately addressing the issue of bullying and violence.
