A secondary school teacher with the Ibadan Municipal Government (IMG) secondary school in Ibadan is now being interrogated by the police for allegedly flogging a student to death.

It was learnt that the student met his untimely death when he slumped and died while being allegedly flogged by the said teacher for arriving late to school.

Blueprint gathered that the deceased student was said to have pleaded with the teacher that he came late to the school because of his ill health and that the teacher should allow him to go to his class.

The teacher was said to have reportedly turn down his pleas and asked him to kneel down with others pencilled down for flogging as part of their punishment for coming late to school.

An eyewitness said trouble started for the teacher while flogging the student when he (the student) slumped and died immediately on the spot with all efforts by the teacher and other co-teachers at reviving the student failed.

The death of the student sparked off wild protest from other students during which properties within the school premises were vandalised during which the said teachers and others flee the school premises for safety.

When contacted, the Oyo state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Adekunle Ajisebutu, confirmed the arrest of the teacher for interrogations over the death of the student.

Ajisebutu declared that investigation was ongoing on the matter and that the police command was determined to pursue the matter to the end.
Already, armed policemen had been stationed around the school premises despite the midterm holiday for schools across the state.

I just pity the teacher, he just walked into a trap of the marine world.

It's believed the teacher flogged the guy mercilessly but don't be surprise a whip got him to this.

I know of a student in primary school whom teachers don't flog except u re ready to resuscitate person pikin.

It's a pity this teacher will be going to jail for doing what virtually all school do to late comers except the new ajebutter skools of 2day..

RIP to the deceased as u have gone to Odin.

chai!!! so unfortunate ooo...

In my own Opinion I would say the said student was already dead even before reaching the school, the teacher was unfortunate to have been the victim of circumstance to help facilitate the death. The human body can take in heavy torture for hours, how much more few strokes of cain?? Let's give the situation a second tot.

Nobody have a right to put their hands on anybody ..regardless ..aspecially a teacher ..nobody go touch my kids but me ..that shit should be illegal for crying out loud ..the kids are there to learn ..not get flogged .. Besides the one beating the kids ..i betcha they beat their wives too ..evil people ...just evil hearts ...what do they get out of it ?? A hardon and an ejaculation ? Furkin swine goats ...
