A 12-year-old, Chidimma Ukachukwu, student of a secondary school located in Awka, the state capital has been allegedly flogged to death by her teacher for failing to do her assignment. The incident reportedly took place last week Thursday.
According to a source from the school where the incident took place, the victim fainted after being flogged severally by one of the female
teachers and was subsequently rushed to nearby hospital, where she
eventually gave up the ghost. Speaking further, the source disclosed
that the Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Uju Okeke, then ordered the
closure of the school with immediate effect as a result of the incident.
However, the commissioner however denied ordering the closure of the
school, saying that the school was on midterm break. But investigation
revealed that the school was supposed to go on midterm break next week.
The father of the deceased, Mr. Simeon Ukachukwu who confirmed the
tragic incident said only God knows the best. He however, prayed God to
grant his daughter’s soul eternal rest. Meanwhile, the State Police
Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ralph Uzoigwe, when contacted said that
the police are yet to be briefed about the incident and would get in
touch with the press after further investigations..
