A group of students of Isanbi Comprehensive High School, Ilisan-Remo, in Ikenne Local Government Area of Ogun State have assaulted and beat up their teacher for denying them opportunity to cheat during the unified examination for the Senior Secondary School (SS1) Art class.
Penpushing reports that the teacher, Kolawole Shonuga while invigilating the examination on Tuesday caught one of the students identified as Ashimi Adebanjo cheating and seized his paper, a development said to have angered the student.
The student was alleged to have later mobilized his gang to waylay the teacher at the school gate and severely attacked him using stick to beat him, and equally tore his clothes, and took to their heels, while the matter was later reported at a police station
Penpushing further reports that ten of the suspects were later arrested by the police as confirmed by the Public Relations Officer of Ogun State Command Omolola Odutola, adding that the hooligans were apprehended by the Remo Police Division.
The Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Secondary Schools (ASUSS)Ogun State Chapter Comrade Felix Agbesanwa, also confirmed the incident, stressing that the position of the union was that any student(s) engaged in such act should face the wrath of the law.
“The incident is true, and I have been briefed. Our stand is that any student who raises his hand against his teacher should face the wrath of the law. There’s no going back on that. No student must raise his against the teacher, whether Ogun Teach teachers or permanent teachers, a teacher is a teacher. They must be made to face the law to serve as a deterrent. I learnt they have been charged to court already”, he declared
Penpushing also reports that it is recalled that the Special Adviser to the Governor on Education, Science and Technology, Abayomi Arigbabu, had earlier while receiving the new Executive of the Mathematical Association of Nigeria (MAN) vowed that acts of indiscipline by students would not be condoned in the state
The Special Adviser condemned indiscipline in public schools, recalling that the signing of the undertaking was to make students and parents liable for misconduct and to create a safe learning environment in public schools
