A viral video circulating on Tuesday has triggered widespread concern after a group of secondary school students, still dressed in their uniforms, were seen violently attacking one another in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
The incident, which has drawn condemnation across social media, reportedly involved students from three public schools who appeared to extend their rivalry beyond the classroom and into the streets.
In the video, students in different uniforms were seen charging, chasing, and clashing while residents observed from a distance, unwilling or unable to intervene.
Posting the footage on X, Oyo Affairs wrote:
“Public secondary school students from Olubi Memorial Grammar School, Community High School, and Ibadan Grammar caught on camera fighting. Govt needs to do something fast!!!”
