Indications have
emerged that the Lagos State Government may prosecute the principal of Eva
Adelaja, Mrs. C.O. Coker, the school’s vice-principal, Mrs. Balogun and four
other teachers said to have been implicated in a child brutality case.
According to Punch, the state government had suspended the affected
workers and might commence proceedings against them.
This is just as some
students of the school protested against the removal of their principal by the
government.
The teachers affected
are Mr. Bello (Mathematics), Mrs. Tejumaye (English language), Mrs. Omoge
(Physical Education) and Mr. Bakare (Economics).
The workers were
suspended for their roles in the brutality of a 14-year-old pupil of the
school, Ogechi Anyalewechi.
Ogechi, who was in
Senior Secondary School 2, had a confrontation with the school’s senior
prefect, Zainab.
The school principal,
the vice-principal and some other teachers were said to have taken turns to
flog Ogechi, after which she was asked to cut grass.
The government had set
up a panel to investigate the allegation, which recommended their suspension.
