Afrobeat superstar Davido has voiced outrage over a viral video showing a brutal bullying incident at Igbinedion Secondary School.

The singer reacted on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, describing the behavior as appalling. “Fuckin animals… so disgusting,” he wrote in response to the footage circulating online.

The video captures two male students repeatedly assaulting a fellow student who had fallen to the ground. At one point, one of the attackers drags the victim by his uniform and stomps on his chest and head while the boy cries in pain. A third student, recording the incident, can be heard pleading for them to stop.

The disturbing footage sparked widespread outrage on social media, prompting swift action from school authorities. The students involved in the bullying were expelled, while the student who recorded the incident received a suspension.

Confirming the developments, the Edo State Police Command stated that the students involved have been expelled and the recording student suspended.

Police spokesperson Eno Ikioyedem said the Commissioner of Police, Monday Agbonika, has instructed the Divisional Police Officer in the area to conduct a full investigation.

“The Edo State Police Command strongly condemns acts of bullying, violence, or intimidation among students, and anyone found culpable will face the full weight of the law,” the statement added.
