The actress in reaction to a video of girls been flogged mercilessly by a teacher described the practice as, “wicked” and “evil.” She made the call in a video uploaded on her Instagram account on Tuesday evening.
In the video, a male teacher was seen viciously flogging some female students with a cable.
The students, who were on a sort of Assembly line could be seen in pain after being flogged by the teacher.
However, ‘Jenifa’ as widely called has called for the teacher’s sack while also demanding for the name of the school and teacher.
