The video which has gone viral on social media, especially on the Facebook app was seen under the post of a Facebook user named Goshers and it was captioned as “And he is bold enough to put it camera, Ghana Education Service, please investigate this”.

A lot of social media users have called on the school authority and the Ghana Education Service to ensure the “bullies” are brought to book.

“Are there no teachers in the school? Treating a mate like this? Lord have mercy what has he done to be treated like this they must be reported to the authorities.”, a concerned user lamented under the post.

Another netizen also replied, “Where are human rights activists? If it were a teacher punishing students, we will call for his dismissal…What of these students?
