What is this world turning into now.  Just mere flogging a student, the teacher`s story took another dimension.

It was a tearful Wednesday, yesterday 29th November, 2017 as parents of one Okafor Chinaza aged 14, a student of starlight secondary school Ogidi fight and killed their daughter's teacher for flogging her.

According to information gathered, It was said that the student in question was flogged by her Igbo teacher and class mistress earlier in the morning for not sweeping the class according to class roster, when the teacher walked in to teach them, she found out that the class was not cleared as previous day refuse littered round the class room, she called out the girl for questioning as regards to why she didn't sweep the class room, she responded insulting to the teacher according to fellow student's present in the class room.

In response, the teacher asked her to kneel down before the class she refused as the teacher annoyingly flogged her and she fleed the class from the school fence, and ran home.

As at 3:23pm same day, she came back with a lady believed to be her mother and a young man who claimed to be the uncle.


The Proprietress  in her response said that she was with one of her employee named Okamelu Tochukwu (Physics Teacher) when the woman came to her office to vent her anger.

  "I was in my office with one of my teachers when she came in, after her report and confirmation from the students that the teacher flogged the said Okafor Chinaza, I pleaded with the mother and uncle to allow the school dive into the issue with diplomacy as revenge won't yield needed result. She had accepted to forget and forgive as I promised her that we will handle the case with ease."
