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.
