Miss. Namtira Bwala, a bullied student at British Lead International School, has threatened to file a lawsuit against the school if her abusers are not punished within 48 hours. 

Namtira asked the school officials to promptly investigate and impose the worst sanctions under the student's rule book on Ms.

Maryam Hassan, Miss Faliya, and nine other pupils bullied her in a letter produced by her lawyers, Deji Adeyanju & Company. 

Namtira stated that if the school administration fails to discipline the student bullies within 48 hours of receiving the letter, she will seek urgent and severe legal action against the institution.

The letter reads “We are Solicitors to Miss. Namtira Bwala (acting through her next friend), hereinafter referred to as our client, on whose instruction we act. 

Our client and several other parents in Lead British International School have informed us and we verily believe them that this act of bullying is a recurring issue in the school, and despite several attempts to draw the school’s attention to it, the issue has persisted, leaving our client traumatised from the emotional and physical effect of the oppressive acts by these daredevil bullies. 

"Regrettably, our client has once again, been subjected to physical attacks at the hands of these bullies, with the video of the act going viral on social media. 

"Sadly, rather than address this issue head-on by imposing severe sanctions on the student bullies, the school has issued a timid statement lacking in force or recognition of the severity of the situation at hand. 

"Our client completely dissociated herself from the statement issued by the school on April 22, 2024, wherein a case of battery was unconscionably referred to as an “incident between minors. 

"We state that it is this type of statement, coupled with the school’s gross negligence, that has enabled the student bullies, leading to increased incidents of unchecked bullying in the school, an environment that should ordinarily be a safe space for students. 

"Sequel to the foregoing, we have our client’s instruction to demand the immediate investigation and the pronouncement of the stiffest possible sanctions in the student’s rule book, on Ms. Maryam Hassan, Miss Faliya and nine other students who have formed a cult of bullies in Lead British International School, Gwarimpa, Abuja. 

"Please note that if the school fails to sanction the student bullies within 48 hours of the receipt of this letter, we have our client’s further instruction to seek an immediate and severe legal redress against Lead British International School, Gwarimpa, without further recourse to you.”
