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.

Jakumo: Fashola for President of Nigeria !

Future President Fashola is the most accomplished, insightful, productive, fair and compassionate political leader Nigeria will witness during this current chapter of her history. There is currently in exsistence NO other person better qualified than Raji Fashola, for ultimate electoral ascension to the post of Nigeria's President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.

For protecting the fundamental rights of society's most vulnerable citizens - namely women, the young, and the elderly, Governor Raji Fashola SAN has crafted a legacy of bold innovation that will serve as inspirational reference to all future elected leaders throughout Nigeria, who wish their tenures to be recalled with fondness.

The four-year old child recently beaten to death in an Ondo State classroom only fell victim to that murderous teacher because of the state-endorsed RIGHT accorded that unstable and violent person, to carry stick or other weapon into classrooms filled with children, and also to use such deadly instruments in physical attacks against those children, under the ridiculous guise of "instilling discipline".

The arrested child-killing teacher in Ondo state would never in the first place have been allowed to arm himself to attack school children in the classroom, if he had been employed in a Lagos State school where such barbarity is ILLEGAL, because, simply being spotted with that cane would rightly cost the "cattle-herding" teacher his job, and possiblly even some serious money in legal fees, to fend off assault and battery charges that could be filed by the state euducation authorities, if applicable.


There is universal agreement that the fundamental purpose of educating children is to prepare them for roles as productive citizens in a civilized, progressive, orderly and non-violent society. If there is indeed NO legally endorsed circumstance in a free democracy under which the one adult civilian is entitled to attack another with a stick, whip or bare-handed slap, then, as Future President Fashola rightly concluded, there must be NO circumstance under which [i]students[/u] in educational institutions should be subject to physical attacks by teachers in whatever guise, right from the kindergarten level, to the post-graduate level, inclusive of all years in between.

[size=14pt]Ban the beating of children today, Nigeria.[/size] Governors from Nigeria's remaining states will bear witness to the rapid and dramatic improvements that will now be recorded in the quality of education offered by Lagos State's public and private schools, now that the dark age of medieval beatings and corporal punishment has been consigned to the dustbin of history by the nation's soon-to-be President, Raji Fashola SAN.


[size=14pt}FASHOLA FOR PRESIDENT ! Ain't No Stoppin' Fashola ! He's on the move ! [/size]

ifyalways: Pathetic.

Seriously, this unemployment situation in Nigeria will affect all of us,directly or otherwise. Graduates are NOW switching to teaching when they don't get a job and they end up taking out their frustrations on the innocent chikdren.

Where is this country heading? Odikwa very risky!

damibravo: 1. Did the teacher enjoyed beating the kid?

raytony: I just pity the teacher, the beating might be a factor but not also ruling out the possibility that other factors might be associated. May we not fall victims of traps set by enemies from the village.
