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.
