The saga of the Ikorodu teacher accused of physically abusing a 3-year-old boy has taken a dramatic turn, with new videos and updates stirring even more public outrage.

Anonymous Caller Threatens Teacher

In a widely shared audio clip, an unidentified woman reportedly called the teacher, Stella Nwadigo, to insult and lay curses on her. The caller berated her for mistreating the young boy and warned that she would not escape imprisonment.

The teacher, attempting to defend herself, was interrupted as the woman doubled down on her threats, claiming people were "coming for her" at the school in Ikorodu.

Public Reactions

The videos have continued to spark mixed reactions online. While many applaud the swift action taken by the Lagos State Government, others have criticized the anonymous caller for taking matters too far by issuing personal threats.

Comments online reflect the divided opinions:

• "Justice is being served! That teacher deserves everything coming her way."
• "The anonymous caller is no better. Threatening someone isn't the way to handle this."
• "This is heartbreaking on all sides. Let the law take its course without mob justice."

What’s Next?

As investigations continue, Stella Nwadigo remains in police custody. The Lagos State Government has vowed to ensure justice is served, while advocacy groups call for better training and stricter monitoring of teachers to prevent similar incidents in the future.

The case has become a lightning rod for discussions about child abuse, teacher accountability, and the role of social media in shaping public opinion.
