By Jide Taiwo

The alleged father of the female student of Lead British International School bullied by her classmate has clarified the girl is not her daughter.

D.H. Bwala in a press statement posted on hos Twitter page noted; “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.”
