Students of IMG Secondary School,
Oke Ado, Ibadan, on Wednesday,
expressed outrage after their
colleague was allegedly flogged to
death by a teacher.

The yet-to-be identified student
reportedly slumped and died
following severe punishment from a
teacher for arriving late to school.

Some properties of the school were
destroyed by the students before
policemen arrived at the scene.

Chairs and tables, cabinets were
destroyed by the protesting students,
even as they scattered documents.

Windows and doors of the staff
room were also vandalized.

As the protest escalated, teachers and
administrative workers of the school
took to their heels for fear of being
attacked.

An eye witness told Nigerian Tribune
that trouble started when the student
arrived school after classes had
commenced for the day.

“He told the teacher he came late due
to illness.

“At that point, the principal, who
was passing by asked the teacher the
cause of the discussion.

“The principal ordered the teacher to
flog the student for coming late and
he slumped in the process.

“They tried to resuscitate him but it
was too late”, he disclosed.
