By Peter Moses,


A gang of ten senior secondary school students in Ogun State have reportedly waylaid and assaulted a teacher, Kolawole Shonuga, who stopped one of them from cheating during an examination in the school.

Daily Trust learnt that the incident occurred on Tuesday at Isanbi Comprehensive High School, Ilisan-Remo, Ikenne Local Government Area of the state.

Our correspondent gathered that Shonuga while invigilating the unified examination for the SS 1 Art class students, caught one Ashimi Adebanjo, 18 years, cheating and seized his paper.

After school hours, the student ganged up with his peers waylaid the teacher and beat him up at the school’s gate, witnesses told our correspondent.

One of them, Kazeem Adelaja allegedly hit a stick on Shonuga’s head while others were beating him. Our correspondent gathered that police personnel from the Remo Division later pounced on the students and arrested about ten of them.

The police spokesman, Omotola Odutola, confirmed the incident, saying Shonuga had made a formal report on the alleged assault at Remo Police Division.

Odutola also confirmed the arrest of ten suspects. Our correspondent gathered that the suspects had already been arraigned in court for assault, but the command’s Public Relations Officer failed to answer questions about the arraignment.

The State Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Secondary Schools (ASUSS), Felix Agbesanwa frowned at the incident and insisted that the students must face the the wrath of the law to serve as a deterrent.

“The incident is true and I have been briefed. Our stand is that any student who raises his hand against his teacher should face the wrath of the law. There is no going back on that. No student must raise their hands against the teacher, whether Ogun Teach teachers or permanent teachers, a teacher is a teacher.

“They must be made to face the law to serve as a deterrent. I learnt they have been charged to court already.”

The state government has also condemned the act and vowed that it would not condone acts of indiscipline by learners across the state.

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Education, Science and Technology, Prof. Abayomi Arigbabu gave this warning in Abeokuta while receiving the new Executive of the Mathematical Association of Nigeria (MAN).

He noted that part of the efforts put in place was the signing of Undertaking Forms by learners, parents and school heads to make learners and parents liable for any misconduct of the learners or parents alike, saying the aim was to have a safe learning environment free from the pandemonium of any sort.

“I’m using this opportunity to advise parents to talk to their children, they should warn them, because we won’t tolerate any indiscipline from any child. Any student that misbehaves in school will be dealt with appropriately,” he said.

In October 2021, no fewer than four cases of assault on teachers were recorded in different public schools in the State, forcing the government to introduce a compulsory undertaking signed by all the students and their parents to curb hooliganism.

Is high time Teachers are allowed to be carrying gun for self defense from the students of nowadays especially in Ogun state

Mmesoma syndrome is rising.

The level of irresponsible display of attitudes by the present generation of teenagers is becoming worrisome.


We are gradually eroding that humane African attitude in us, replacing it with the 'woke culture' of the western world.


Well, since we have irresponsible govt at the top, who am I to complain about the characters emulated by their 'offsprings?

It is deeply concerning to hear about such incidents where students resort to violence when faced with consequences for their actions. Education is meant to foster a sense of discipline, integrity, and respect for authority, and incidents like these undermine the very foundation of our educational system. It is crucial for schools and parents to work together to address such behavioral issues and instill values of honesty and respect within students. Moreover, it is important for teachers to feel safe and supported in their efforts to maintain an environment conducive to learning. Efforts must be made to counsel and educate students on the negative consequences of cheating and the importance of ethical behavior, so that incidents like these are not repeated in the future.

They should be identified and severely punished.


A TYPE OF PUNISHMENT THAT WILL AFFECT THEIR LIFE AND DESTINY.

On colos ...

We need morality police in Nigeria ..

But wait ooo.. I thought Tinubu promised Nigerians STATE POLICE ?

Products of failed parenting, I'm glad they've been arrested.

Abi na. Na their oga president

Aswear if I be that teacher man ehn.., after police drop the matter con release those boys., I dey go after them one by one., All of them must break one hand o. Infact I no go report for police station in the first place...

This is terrible.

South West should be worry about those trooping into their states every seconds after having theirs destroyed.

This is alien to the Yoruba culture.

That's the kind of education you see in Nigeria.

Ogun state , home of thugs

Una never anything for supporting evil

Let the cheating continue for supporting election cheating

Those student future is predictable

So to do good now, na beating person dey receive as reward

Tinubu future thugs are really growing very fast.

Ogun state?

I went to that state for a function some couple years ago and I saw teenagers throwing gang signs everywhere I go.

You can't grow up in that state without being wayward.

Ogun state again

More than half of ogun students are products of unplanned births and broken relationships,...and the arrival of "colos" (meth) has really added fuel to the blazing fire.

They are taking the steps of Bola Ahmed Tinubu. That is the kind of society we will have.

Keep promoting criminality of politicians. Your kids are watching

Obaofaba:
This is terrible.

South West should be worry about those trooping into their states every seconds after having theirs destroyed.

This is alien to the Yoruba culture.

It is not different from agbero

There's a borstals juvenile prison in Abeokuta. These ones should just spend six months there. They'll come out more humble than Ṣeun Kuti.

Unfortunately, we're in Nigeria and nobody gets punished for their crimes.

Mark my words, if these children aren't properly and thoroughly dealt with and their punishments published on the media, we'll see many more similar news in coming weeks or months.

That's how society works.

The teacher was lu jy, his skull wasn't found missing. Skullers

Shebi him no die, cool the message as been passed
