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.
