A Lagos teacher, Stella Nwadigbo, 45, has been arraigned for allegedly assaulting a three-year-old pupil at a primary school in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State. The incident came to light after a video of the assault went viral on January 8, 2025.
Following the viral video, the Family Support Unit of the Ikorodu Police Division arrested Nwadigbo and transferred her to the Gender Unit of the Command Headquarters for further investigation. The young victim received medical attention at a nearby facility.
Nwadigbo was charged with indecent treatment and assault of a child, to which she pleaded not guilty. Chief Magistrate O. Kushanu granted her bail in the sum of N200,000 with two sureties, but she has been remanded to Kirikiri Correctional Facility until the case resumes on February 18, 2025.
The Lagos State Police Commissioner, CP Olanrewaju Ishola, commended the public for promptly reporting the incident and assured them of the police’s commitment to ensuring the safety and security of Lagos residents and visitors.
