DETECTIVES in OndoState have detained a primary school teacher, Alade Adebayo, for allegedly flogging to death a four-year-old female pupil Elizabeth Wanogha.
The deceased pupil was a student of a private primary school, Falaye Memorial Nursery and Primary School, located at Fanibi area in Akure metropolis.
The teacher, according to report, accused the deceased of being stubborn in the class. He was said to have beaten the girl to a state of coma.
Cries from other pupils in the class reportedly attracted other teachers who rushed to the scene where they found that the girl had fainted.
She was said to have been rushed to a private hospital and was admitted but reportedly died later.
Police authorities, however, said that the pupil died two weeks after the beating by the suspect.
The father of the deceased, Mr Wanogha lodged a complaint at the Fanibi Police station, alleging that his daughter died as a result of the injuries sustained from the severe beating by her teacher.
Following the complaint, the teacher was arrested for interrogation.
Contacted, the Police image maker, Wole Ogodo, confirmed that the teacher had been arrested.
Ogodo however said that people should not jump into conclusion that it was the beating which took place about two weeks earlier that led to the death of the pupil.
He pointed out that the autopsy will determine the cause of the pupil’s death.
Ogodo said that the suspect is being quizzed at the state Criminal Investigative Department, SCID.
He explained further that the deceased was hospitalised immediately after the beating but died two weeks after.
Ogodo said that investigation into the death of the pupil continues adding that the findings would be made public.
The father of the deceased pupil insisted that the teacher should be prosecuted for murder.
Mr wanogho who lived at Adebowale street Fanibi vowed that the matter would be pursued to a logical conclusion to serve as deterrent to wicked teachers who vent their anger on innocent pupils put in their care.
He appealed to NGOs to take the matter up by ensuring that it was not swept under the carpet.
The proprietor of the school declined comment on the incident.

He must have flogged the hell out of the pupil!

Why do Nigerian teachers right from Kg to sec. Sch do think beating students with cane is part of education.

This has got to stop

ayobase:

He must have flogged the hell out of the pupil!

some teacher's floggin skills,no be here o.

I'm pretty sure the teacher has no child of his own.

This is what you get when you employ frustrated people as teachers!! All Private organizations in Nigeria want to maximize profit,they employ those who pretend to be contented with the 'peanuts' they pay them as salaries,this is a good example of that! Imagine,beating a four year old pupil to death,what would have caused this
Go and check,most of the 'wicked' teachers who take little issues very seriously are those who are in one way or the other frustrated as a result of not being able to cater for their needs with the little pay they get!

Things like this will not stop happening untill we Nigerians start appreciating the teachers in a appropriate manner.

RIP to the dead. May God grant the family the fortitude to bear the loss.
