Nigerians react to video of a teacher asking a student of Federal Girls College Akure to destroy her phone and those of her schoolmates

Nigerians are reacting to a trending video showing a student of the Federal Girls College Akure destroying her phone and those of her schoolmates under the supervision of her teacher.

The students violated the rules of the school by bringing their phones to school and as punishment, one of them was asked to destroy all the phones during the school’s morning assembly.

Some Nigerians on social media have stated that the students deserved the punishment since they flouted the rule of the school, while others believe the punishment is extreme.

I understand that mobile phones are prohibited in some boarding schools, but asking students to destroy their phones by themselves is not fair enough, especially after they had suspended them from the hostel. This is Federal Girls College in Akure. pic.twitter.com/13LkW8gA0Y
