Hundeyin said that the Lagos State Ministry of Education had also intervened in the case, with a view to getting the principal investigated and prosecuted, if found culpable.

A video had surfaced online showing a female student with marks on her body, allegedly resulting from flogging.

This prompted calls on the Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, Commissioner for Education, and Commissioner for Youth and Social Development to wade into the matter.
