Another video shows one of the bullies, identified as Maryam, asking, “Who broke my heart?” repeatedly as she slapped Namtira.
She then warned “don’t touch my hand” as Namtira tried to protect herself from the slaps.
Afterwards, Namtira stopped trying to prevent the slaps and calmly took them.
Students in the background are heard claiming Namtira “snatched” someone as they confronted her.
Namtira Bwala, said to be the daughter of author Daniel Bwala, did not retaliate as they hit her.

Thank God the drama ( bullying) was captured on camera, otherwise, the school authorities would have denied it. Even our prison cells in Nigeria is better than what I saw in that video, where somebody’s daughter, was receiving hot slaps for just no cause. I will never recommend my enemy’s child to look for admission into such school. The parents of that girl should drag the school to court ASAP.
