A teacher with Alihami Secondary School at Agbor in the Ika North East Local Government Area of Delta State has lost his life after being flogged by an angry parent.
SaharaReporters gathered that the tragic incident happened on Wednesday.
A source told SaharaReporters that the trouble started when some students of the school allegedly jumped the school fence to steal and drink an old man’s palm wine. The old man reported the matter to the school authority.
“The students were immediately identified and then flogged as part of a disciplinary measure.
“One of the students informed his father. After school, he then made several threatening calls to the late teacher. The parent later showed up at the school. After a long argument, the parent flogged the late teacher, who in the process collapsed.
“The teacher died before they got him to Agbor Central Hospital,” the source said.
The deceased teacher was identified as Sunday Onyisi Ufah, a Christian, physics teacher and a child evangelist for decades, mentoring and leading children to Christ.
The Delta State Police Command spokesman, DSP Bright Edafe, who confirmed the incident to SaharaReporters, said that the father of the student had been arrested.
“Yes, it’s true, the man involved has been arrested and is currently detained at the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation,” he said
