A video of a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member kneeling down as punishment by the proprietress of the school she was posted to for her primary assignment has sparked public outrage.
He management of the NYSC has also taken up the case and is said to be investigating the circumstances.
The corps member’s offence is not known but excerpts from the elderly teacher’s conversation with her showed she was away from work because of menstrual pains.
The proprietress argued that if she had explained, she would have understood because she is also a woman.
The video has infuriated Nigerians who allege that employers are in the habit of bullying corps members at their places of primary assignment (PPA).
