Tempers flayed and anger rent the air in Kofar Gayan area of Zaria, Kaduna State, when news of the painful death of a teenage student of Al-Azhar Academy filtered in. Marwanu Nuhu Sambo, a JSS3 student of the school, died Friday, 20 October 2023, allegedly after being brutally beaten by the Principal, Vice Principal and prefects of Al-Azhar Academy.

It was gathered that the Principal and his Vice paraded Sambo in front of the Assembly for missing classes. He was there and then subjected to merciless punishments including over a hundred strokes of the cane.

Quoting one of the the boy's classmates, "At the assembly, the Principal ordered that Marwanu should be given 105 strokes of cane. Thereafter, they took him to the office, removed his clothes and trousers and continued beating him with sticks on the head and back and his body".

"The Principal later handed him over to the school prefects who continued beating him with sticks until one of his teeth fell off. It was at that point that the deceased went into coma.

"But instead of rushing him to the hospital, the prefects brought him out and dumped his body in the school premises near the male toilets until the closing time.

"Cries from other students in the school who watched in tripedation reportedly attracted other teachers who rushed to the scene where they found out that the boy has given up the ghost".

"The school management quickly rushed him to a private hospital in an attempt to cover up the incident.

It was also alleged that the Management of the school also did not inform the parents of the student until rumors got to them that their child was brutally beaten in school and had been rushed to the hospital.

On their arrival to the hospital, the parents were told by the doctor that the child had already died before he was brought in. The Doctor confirmed that the boy sustained several injuries from the cruel and savage punishment by the management of the school that led to his death.

It has been almost 24 hours since the incident happened but no security agency had made any arrest or visited the families of the deceased. The school authority has also kept mum as if nothing happened.

It is hoped that the Government of Kaduna State, Nigerian Police Force, National Human Right Commission and other relevant Security Agencies will thoroughly investigate this matter with a view to unravelling the circumstances that led to the unfortunate death of the teenager and to serve justice to whoever is culpable in his death. This will serve as a deterrent to wicked teachers who vent their anger on innocent pupils put in their care.

This is getting out of hand

Salafists. Smh

Oh my God, this is pure evil

My heart is broken, his killers must be brought to book, I want to see massive protest like that of mohbad against this unspeakable evil

Say no to violence

Rest in peace

Rest in peace tall man

There should be a limit to how you flog a child

As a teacher, you have to be careful not every student is healthy before you put yourself into trouble.

With this economy, some students barely eat
Before coming to school and have one ailment or the other.

Also

govt Boarding houses have been known to harbor bullies who are hailed as seniors

I hope all involved are arrested and sentenced for MURDER

What a dispicable act.

Life no matter for those people side oooo...

What did he do?
Vote Tinubu again??

Kai

Let them use Shari'a law!

1- Hitting should not exceed ten hits, as the Prophet said: "One should not be slashed more than 10 slashes except in one of the corporal punishments determined by Islamic law." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

2- One should not hit the face, as the Prophet said: "If one hits [had no other alternative but to hit], he should not hit the face and he should not disparage the (looks of the) face." [Ahmad].

3- One should not hit in sensible parts of the body, like the private parts, the stomach and the like.

4- One should not discipline when he is angry because anger may take the person out of control; the teacher should avoid what causes anger, and he should seek refuge in Allaah from the devil when he is angry, as advised by the Prophet .

5- Hitting should be with the consent of the guardian of the child because leaving the child with the teacher is not sufficient to be permission for him to hit him, unless it is known in the customs by everybody, then in this case it is as giving him permission.

Chai..





Ikunle o!


I don't know the evil that comes with Islamic studies, particularly in Nigeria.

Staunch Muslims are too wicked.

They can beat you to death for not attending "Ile Kewu".

Fear those schools. Their intention is to wicked you to death.


We need to establish many psychiatric hospitals in this nation.


Many are not normal!


...and the dirty school uniform speaks about the quality of his parents!

What kind of offence would attract 105 strokes of the cane?

That the boy was flogged by principal, vice-principal and senior students is unacceptable.

Something isn't adding up here.

What did this poor boy do that would warrant such barbaric treatment?

My advice is that other parents should evacuate their kids.

The kid that were kept under their care has been killed in cold blood

That principal and vice deserve to be undressed and flogged till they stop breathing too

sholikay:
Life no matter for those people side oooo...

That one i.diot's comment

The value of life in Nigeria is = 0

The principal and all other culprits should spend the rest of the their lives in prison. This barbaric act of pure wickedness is from the bottom of hell and is totally unacceptable.

The people all involved should be jailed including the fellow students involved.

Principal of death. Justice for the boy.

The heart of man is "desperately" wicked.

My fear in this above description of man is not the wicked part, but you see that word "desperately " hmm nawa o.

That is what hardship cause ..

Wittyness.

Nigeria! A chronicle of a wicked Nation. A nation where live is not valued. And Nigerian state will still fail to bring the perpetrators to justice.


Indeed, there was a Country!!!

This is madness.... Every one involved should be investigated and prosecuted... Justice must be served.
