A teacher simply identified as Mr David has on Friday evening beaten his 16-year old female student into a state of coma, THE QUEST TIMES confirms.
The victim, Christabel Mimi Henry, a student at Government Girls Science Secondary School (GGSSS) Kuje, was rushed to Kuje General Hospital.
Our correspondent gathered that the teacher stormed the class of the victim and insisted on beating all the students in the class on account of a student that made noise.
However, Mimi requested the teacher to fish out the noisemaker for punishment, instead of punishing the entire class.
In a fit of rage, the teacher rained several slaps on her and thereafter got a rod and beat her into a state of unconsciousness.
When our correspondent visited the hospital, a source who preferred to remain anonymous disclosed that the student had recovered consciousness.
The incident was also confirmed to THE QUEST TIMES by Mrs. Umogu Bassey, the school’s principal.
She stated during a phone discussion that she had nothing to add to the subject because the disciplinary committee meeting was still going on.
“There hasn’t yet been a decision made as I conduct my findings.”
The principal said, “This morning I inquired about the student’s well-being, and she is fine. You could try calling again the following day or the day after.
Following that conversation, our correspondent called the Principal several times and left messages for her on Thursday, but neither she nor her contact returned the calls or returned the messages asked regarding the punishment given to the teacher who committed that heinous act after the disciplinary Committee meeting.
