Justice has been served to those involved in the unethical battering and punishment of a student of Eva Adelaja Girls Secondary School, Bariga, Lagos.
The principal of the school, Mrs. C.O. Coker, the vice-principal Mrs. Balogun, and four teachers whose names were given as : Mr. Bello (Mathematics), Mrs. Tejumaye (English), Mrs. Omoge (PE) and Mr. Bakare (Economics) were removed from the school according to reports.
Their removal was as a result of the investigation carried out into the flogging of the pupil Ogechi Anyawelechi by the teachers on the instruction of the principal.
Recall, that Ogechi was flogged on her bare buttocks and made to cut grass for over four hours due to a misunderstanding between her and the head girl of the school whom she purportedly slapped after the latter slapped her.
When the incident became public, the Commissioner for Youth and Social Development Princess Uzamat Akinbile-Yussuf instructed the Directorate of Schools Social Services of her ministry to probe it.
According to the Permanent Secretary of the Lagos State Ministry of Education Mrs. Olabisi Ariyo, they were removed because of their complicity in the “assault saga”, adding: They will no longer work in the school from Thursday, March 24, 2016.
Dash Place’ Blog hopes this serves serve as a deterrent to others who are toeing this unethical path all in the name of discipline or correction.
