A Nigerian student is reportedly taking legal action against her school after a video of her being bullied went viral.
According to local media reports, lawyers for Namitra Bwala said the prestigious Lead British International School in Abuja state had failed to provide a safe learning environment.
She's said to be seeking a public apology and $350,000 (ÂŁ280,000) in damages.
Footage of her being repeatedly slapped and insulted by fellow pupils was widely shared earlier this month.
The school has said it's investigating the incident and hopes she will return to classes.
Videos appearing to show students at the Lead British International School assaulting their peers circulated on social media.
The videos sparked sharp criticism online and angry parents were seen storming the school.
