A Senior Secondary School 3 student, simply identified as Michael Ogbeise, has reportedly beaten his teacher, Ezeugo Joseph, to death for flogging his younger sister.
The incident happened at a yet-to-be-identified private school in the university community of Abraka, Delta State, Southern Nigeria.
The teacher, according to the report, flogged one of his students, Promise, said to be the younger sister of the boy.
Ogbeise, unable to bear seeing his sister being beaten by the teacher, went after him and beat him to death.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, DSP Bright Edafe, confirmed the incident to Nigerian Tribune.
“The story is true. The young man attacked the teacher who collapsed in the process. The girl is now under protective custody, but her brother, who effected the killing, has bolted. We have nothing to do with his parents. Our focus is to get the boy arrested,” he said.
Edafe further said that the teacher was confirmed dead in a hospital before his body was deposited in the morgue.
