Here's a photo of the teacher, Rita Odilinye, who was killed
last week after flogging a 14-year-old student for not sweeping her class at
Starlight secondary school, Ogidi, Anambra state.
Tragedy struck the quiet town of Ogidi in Anambra state
after a teacher died after flogging a student in her class.
According to
reporter Eze Amadi, the parents of one 14-year-old Okafor Chinaza, a student of
starlight secondary school, Ogidi – fought and killed their daughter’s teacher
for flogging her.
According to information gathered: It was said that the
student in question was flogged by her Igbo teacher and class mistress earlier
in the morning for not sweeping the class according to class roster.
When the
teacher walked in to teach them, she found out that the class was dirty as she
questioned the student why she didn’t carry out her duty. The student allegedly
responded in an insulting manner to the teacher according to fellow student’s
present in the class room.
In response, the teacher asked her to kneel down before the
class but the student reportedly refused as the teacher annoyingly flogged her
and she fled the class from the school fence, and ran home.
As at 3:23pm same day, she came back with a lady believed to
be her mother and a young man who claimed to be the uncle.
According to
starlight secondary school security, she refused to introduce herself properly
as she forced her way into the school and went to the classroom of the girl to
find out that the said teacher had gone for private school teachers meeting
same day. She was directed to the Proprietress’ office when they found out she
had come for her daughter’s issue with a teacher of the school named Odilinye
Rita.
According to the Proprietress, she said that she was with
one of her employee named Okamelu Tochukwu (Physics Teacher) when the woman
came to her office to vent her anger.
I was in my office with one of my teachers when she came in,
after her report and confirmation from the students that the teacher flogged
the said Okafor Chinaza, I pleaded with the mother and uncle to allow the
school dive into the issue with diplomacy as revenge won’t yield needed result.
She had accepted to forget and forgive as I promised her that we will handle
the case with ease.
The teacher was believed to be coming back from the private
teachers meeting she went to, when she met the student’s people. Upon getting
close to them, the student who came with her mother and other relatives,
pointed at the teacher to the mother as she rushed to hit her (the teacher)
with the stick she had come with. After a while, the teacher collapsed and was
rushed to Iyi-Enu Hospital Ogidi where the doctor confirmed her dead moments
later.

Currently, the parents and the student are being detained by
the police in Ogidi police station.
Anger caused this calamity.
An angry child, an angry teacher, an angry mother.
Time to face an angry law.
Failed parenting!
