The Principal-General of Government Technical College, Abak, Akwa Ibom State, Mr Friday Udoka, has apologized for flogging a serving female corps member in the school, Miss Olaitan Adeola Kolawole.



Tendering his apology at the NYSC state office in Uyo Monday, Udoka said he did not deliberately flog the corps member, noting that he used the cane on her out of anger.

Miss Kolawole was said to have written the name of her friend, Dolapo Victoria in the attendance register of the school on Friday, October 19, 2018 when Dolapo was absent.

The principal who has just three years to retire from service was said to have flogged Kolawole for the “misdeamour” and dragged her outside the classroom in front of the students; an allegation he denied.

“No man is perfect, I have not beaten a corps member before. I am very sorry for using a cane on a corper. Adeola, I am very sorry for what happened.

“When I went back home, I felt bad for beating a woman. It is not true that I dragged the corper out of my office and flogged her before the students. This is a man that behaves like a father, but I don’t know what happened that I behaved rudely with you. Please forgive me.

“The mistake will not repeat itself. Whatever is the cost of your treatment, I will bear the cost,” he said.

Responding, Miss Kolawole said she had no justification not to accept the apology of an elder saying, “For an elder to apologize for his mistake, I forgive him. I accept his apology. My parents wanted to take up the matter, but I will talk to them not to pursue the case as they wanted”.

The Commissioner for Education, Victor Inoka, who was also at the ‘reconciliation meeting’, made a personal donation of N50,000 to Miss Kolawole for her treatment.

He is unfit to head a public institution. This shows that is way he beats his wife and students when provoked. Apology or not, he should be punished

50k settled the matter

He has realised that his job is on the line.

But in actual case the Corps member deserves serious reprimand and suspension for committing fraud

You are very correct but the ladys crime carries more punishment
Imagine helping your friends who are not at work to write their names in China or Russia even the US, we are just lawless in this country

She should have slapped him out of anger too

Where are the mumu here

Anger management is a necessary course to be taken, it'll help save lives, property and homes

This is where corruption starts imagine writing the name of her friend who was absent because she went for her olosho business

Can she try that shit in camp make those military guys show her pepper without apologies

Nonsense

Principal that has been in active flogging activities that's who you want to try with your dirty habit what makes you think he wouldn't see you as a jss3 student when you didn't conduct yourself in a moral way

He must be flogging his wife at home due to anger

The principal was way out of line!

Irrespective of your age.. I go slap slap you wella

She cannot be unflogged

Useless man

If you couldn't control your anger you are not different from the indisciplined corp member
