The videos, which surfaced yesterday on Facebook, Instagram & Telegram on (2 Aug), show alarming scenes of physical aggression among students within the campus premises.
In the footage, groups of teens can be seen physically assaulting victims with kicks and punches, while a crowd of onlookers watches. Some bystanders were also seen recording the events on their phones.
In one clip, a teenage boy is seen on his knees in a stairwell surrounded by a group of approximately ten peers. As part of a humiliating act, the boy is compelled to kiss the shoes of a teenage girl, and subsequently, her bare feet.
The situation escalates when a voice is heard shouting for the boy to “lick the ****ing shoe,” and he is then suddenly kicked in the head by another student.
A second individual follows up with a slap across his face.
