A teacher at Araromi Ilogbo Secondary School in Oko Afo, Lagos, is reported to have flogged a student to death.
Students from Araromi Ilogbo Secondary School staged a protest in response to the alleged death of their fellow pupil, 16-year-old David Babadipo, who had been reportedly ill for several days.
The incident took place on Thursday, and the teacher involved has been identified as Mr. Oluwale, according to sources.
After being subjected to corporal punishment, Babadipo was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
A circulating video on social media captured chaotic scenes at the school, with students running both within and outside the premises.
A voice in the background of the video narrated that the deceased pupil had been allegedly flogged by a teacher named Oluwale when he attempted to leave the school premises to make a purchase.
However, conflicting reports emerged as Facebook user Esther Wusu contested the claim that the student was flogged to death, asserting that Mr. Oluwale was the school’s vice principal and did not administer any punishment.
Wusu explained that Babadipo had been unwell since Tuesday, and his deteriorating condition prompted a call to his parents for immediate pick-up.
Adding to the conflicting accounts, another Facebook user Bangose Jide posted; “Teacher beat David Babadipo, 16-year-old to death at Araromi-Ilogbo Senior Secondary School, Oko-Afo. The teacher is named Mr Olawale, a vice principal.”
Another social media user, Mama Sassy D, posted; “This is my vicinity. They have started rioting already. The said teacher might not survive this period.”
