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.
