The Ogun State police command has confirmed the arrest of 10 students who allegedly attached one of their teachers who prevented them from cheating during the last third-term examination.
According to the Daily Post, the Police spokesman, Omotola Odutola, who confirmed the incident, said Shonuga had formally reported the alleged assault at Remo Police Division.
The students of Isanbi Comprehensive High School, Ilisan-Remo, in Ikenne Local Government Area of Ogun, waylaid the teacher, Kolawole Shonuga, on Tuesday.
It was gathered that Shonuga, while invigilating the unified examination for the SS 1 Art class students, caught one of the boys, 18-year-old Ashimi Adebanjo, cheating, and he seized his paper.
A witness explained that after school hours, the student gathered somewhere, waylaid the teacher, and beat him up at the school gate.
It was learned that one of the boys, Kazeem Adelaja, allegedly hit a stick on Shonuga’s head while others were beating him.
The State Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Secondary Schools, Felix Agbesanwa, frowned at the incident, insisting that “any student who raises his hand against his teacher should face the wrath of the law. Whoever puts his hand against his teacher should face the wrath of the law.”
