Teacher Beats 4-Year Old Pupil To Death For Being Stubborn

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.

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.
