On Tuesday, April 23, some parents stormed the school with the hope of resolving the incident.

However, the student, who was captured slapping her colleague, was seen walking into the premises accompanied by elderly males.

A lady identified as one of the parents walked up to Hassan, asking her:

“You are proud of what you did! You are proud right? Someone’s child; innocent child, you beat her, did you give birth to her? I am asking you, did you give birth to her?”

The student was trying to walk away and muttered some incoherent words. The angry parent responded with a slap before other elderly people around moved in to douse tension.
