A teacher at Government Day Secondary
School Sankalawa in Bungudu Local Government Area of Zamfara has allegedly
flogged a student to death.
The incident was revealed on Wednesday by Alhaji
Muhammad Abubakar-Gummi, Deputy Speaker of the State House of Assembly. The
deputy speaker, who spoke under matters of urgent public importance during the
assembly’s sitting in Gusau, said that the house had received several reports
on the issue. According to him, another incident at Government Female Day
Secondary School, Kwatarkwashi, has led to the injury of a student in the
school after the Vice Principal allegedly subjected her to heavy punishment.
“These problems apart from discouraging our children from acquiring education,
also revealed poor attitude to work on the part of teachers in this state,”
Gumni said. He urged the House to invite the Commissioner for Education,
Science and Technology to explain steps taken to address the issues.
The
Speaker, Alhaji Sanusi Rikiji described the actions of the teachers as
unfortunate and vowed that the assembly would not allow the matter to pass. “It
is part of our responsibilities to ensure effective security and good learning
atmosphere for our children for their future development, therefore, we cannot
allow teachers to continue harassing our children from schools,” he said.
The
Speaker directed the House Committee on Education, Science and Technology to
invite the commissioner to appear before it on the matter.
The sadistic teacher should be airlifted and dumped in Sambisa.
Can't believe he is still breathing.
Whatever happened to good-old jungle justice?
