Mrs Vero Igbigwe, the head teacher of Okotie-Eboh primary school in Sapele Local government have been suspended by the Delta State Government for allegedly collecting unauthorised fees including examination levies from school children.

This is coming after a viral video that shows a schoolgirl, Success Adebor, bitterly protesting against the school’s decision to send her home over her parents’ inability to pay examination fee.

The state Commissioner for Education, Mr Chiedu Ebie, who stated this on Monday when he visited the school to verify the claims in the video, said the Governor Ifeanyi Okowa administration runs a free education and would not tolerate any form of extortion by state officials.

Ebie, who was accompanied on the visit by the Chairman, Sapele Local Government Area of the state, Chief Eugene Inoaghan, a former state Commissioner for Housing, Chief Paulinus Akpeki, and other top officials of the ministry, however, ordered a detailed investigation into the action of the suspended head teacher.
