Reacting on X on Sunday, he condemned the act in strong terms, writing, “Fuckin animals… so disgusting.”
The footage shows two male students repeatedly attacking another student who had already fallen to the ground.
During the assault, one of the attackers drags the victim by his school uniform and stomps on his chest and head as the boy cries out in pain.
A third student who recorded the incident could be heard in the background pleading with the attackers to stop.
The video quickly sparked outrage online, with many social media users calling for swift action against those involved.
Following the backlash, authorities at Igbinedion Secondary School expelled the two students responsible for the assault, while the student who recorded the incident was suspended.
In a statement, the Edo State Police Command confirmed the disciplinary actions taken by the school.
Police spokesperson Eno Ikioyedem said the Commissioner of Police, Monday Agbonika, has directed the Divisional Police Officer in the area to carry out a full investigation into the matter.
“The Edo State Police Command strongly condemns acts of bullying, violence, or intimidation among students, and anyone found culpable will face the full weight of the law,” the statement said.

"Why is it that so many bad things are happening in Edo states. Why."
@Ayodelebiodun said:
"Emancipation from the mental hold fear has on you is the first step to becoming free from bullies. In most cases, they’re neither stranger nor more baadass; they’ve just managed to conquer you. Don’t ever give in to bullying, especially when they don’t have weapons."
@its_antigha said:
"At this point I think it would be safe for relevant authorities to order a total comprehensive audit of what happens in this school. Trauma like this gets passed on and most times the Victims never really heal. The school authority definitely have a lot of questions to answer.."
