Trainee, mum hire thugs to attack teachers, vandalise automobile in Ogun school

Despite all efforts by the government to stop the attacks on instructors in Ogun secondary schools, a trainee of Toyon High School, Ere, Ado-Odo, has hired thugs to brutalise his teachers.

The trainee, his mother and the hired thugs were said to have actually stormed the school, situated in Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State, and descended heavily on about 3 teachers, causing injuries on them.

Our reporter gathered that the student, recognized as Joshua Joseph, had actually earlier been prevented from getting in the class because of his hairstyle.

A teacher identified as Mr Kabir Azeez had actually told the student to go and cut his hair before getting in the class.

Joshua was said to have returned to the school with his mum and a punk, who assaulted the instructors.

A trustworthy source told our correspondent, “Three teachers were beaten– Messrs Abel Thomas, Kabir Azeez and Adegun Adekunle. The automobile that was damaged belongs to Mr Jolayemi Jeromu. One of the criminals, Posu Baale, was the one who smashed the automobile’s windshield.”

Confirming the incident, the Vice Principal, Mrs Mariam Onilogbo said, “On Monday, we asked our student to go and cut his hair because the hair he brought to school was not acceptable in the school. Yesterday, he returned with that very same hair, we informed him to go and cut the hair. I gathered his bag and informed him to come back after cutting the hair. Coming back to school, he featured 2 men and two ladies to accuse us that why should we ask him to go and cut his hair.

” I understand informed them that if we can not tell him to cut his hair, all of them should leave my workplace. I provided his bag and informed them to go and be teaching him in your home. They headed out and I started to hear sounds within the school properties. They started beating the instructors. They smashed the windshield of a parking area within the school.

“Yesterday evening, they pertained to our quarters again, claiming that we stole their phone. They nearly attacked us. We informed them their phone is not with us. They pertained to satisfy us once again this morning, but we thank God no one was assaulted.”

The Vice Principal included that the mother and among the punks have actually been detained by the cops.

It was gathered that the teachers welcomed the cops after locking up the detained ones in the computer system space.

The development comes hardly 2 weeks after parents had signed undertaking forms before their children were permitted into their respective classes when main and secondary schools pupils resumed for the second term 2021/2022 scholastic session.

The state government had actually mandated all parents and guardians to sign an undertaking in view of the ugly assault on instructors across the state by trainees.

In the last quarter of 2021, more than four teachers were beaten by their students and in many cases, in connivance with hoodlums, a development that had brought in criticism from stakeholders in the state.

To curb the trend, the federal government introduced the finalizing of undertaking by moms and dads to state their kids’s preparedness of great conduct and non-violent act at school.

Our correspondent obtained a copy of the endeavor kind signed by the suspect’s daddy, Joshua Sunday Suuru, declaring that the boy would be “well behaved and not participate in any act of violence/misdemeanour that can interrupt the smooth running of the school in any type whatsoever.”

Passport size photos of both the dad and the student were attached to the duly-signed undertaking type.
