A Teacher in an Islamic School has been beaten up and detained by the Police for punishing a female student in Abuja.
It was gathered that the teacher had punished a 12-year-old female student during a lesson session.
It was after the student reported the matter to her family that three of her siblings teamed up and whipped the teacher mercilessly.
The siblings nearly knocked down the teacher, who was leaving the school premises, with a car they were driving in and when he turned to raise concerns, they descended on him.
A teacher at the school disclosed that; “the female student blocked the cane with her hands and refused to allow the teacher to punish her.
“After the student reported the matter to her family, her father sauntered to the school and engaged the teacher in a heated argument.
“The next day, three of her siblings, who were former students of the school, arrived at the school and whipped up the teacher mercilessly.”
