A primary school teacher faced disciplinary action from a student's parents after the child returned home and reported that the teacher had eaten her food in class.
A video capturing the incident has gone viral on X, formerly known as Twitter. In the footage, the teacher is seen being restrained by some men while a woman, believed to be the child's mother, confronts them.
The child's father is also seen taking action against the teacher.
As the video circulated online, concerned individuals flooded the comment section with their reactions.

@youngmello224: "Eating of food shouldn't be the reason why you treat someone impacting knowledge into your child."
@theakuawilson: "Oh, the parents could have prepared a separate launch box for him. I'm sure he is underpaid too. This is so sad! Where is our traumatised former finance minister? He should come and see what a traumatic experience looks like."
@MohammedYIGA1: "I'm sure if they good people they would do a collective job and buy the poorman food."
@NexotinGhana: "Ooh sorry for him. "The guy / teacher is clearly not getting enough food to eat. I'm not saying he should eat his students' food though."
@RARAAVIS_EMPIRE: "Very bad. He didn't deserve that treatment for just eating a kid's food. Too bad. Why are we Africans this insensitive and gruesome. That's a man probably hungry. He needed to be assessed not lynched like a criminal. He needed help. It could have been due to poverty! Shame!"
@theman_jk: "Let's face it, if the teacher was eating kids' lunches, she should've been confronted, not beaten. But let's not pretend this isn't a reflection of our society's quickness to judge and punish without due process."
@DMM_5MITH: "Obviously not a school teacher, and the story about food, doesn't add up with the video. He probably is drunk and misbehaving."
@Khojo_HazardCR7: "This teacher is clearly underpaid. Upon all the food he's eating he still looks malnourished. I think it's high time they set up some organizations to help teachers like this in rural areas."
