It has been reported that a student was beaten to death by a teacher at Ekiugbo Grammar School in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State on Wednesday February 26.
The accused was said to have flogged the Junior Secondary School (JSS) student identified as Kelvin Ogheneogaga for misconduct. On getting home, the student developed complications and was rushed to Ughelli Central Hospital by his family where he gave up the ghost.
Speaking with an eyewitness, he disclosed that the teacher continued beating the late student even after he complained of being sick over a leg injury.
He said;
“We were begging the teacher not to flog him because Kelvin was not too fine but the teacher refused. Kelvin had an injury in his leg before he was flogged; we do not know if the flogging was what led to his death.”
The death of the boy led to a protest by the students of the school demanding for justice.
