In a shocking turn of events, students from Ebira Muslim Community College Okengwe (EMCCO) in Okene LGA, Kogi State, allegedly assaulted their Physics teacher, Mr. Muktar Salihu, leaving him in a coma.
Reports reveal that the attack was led by Abdulbatin, a senior secondary school (SS2) student and the son of a prominent traditional ruler in the area. The students reportedly humiliated and violently attacked the teacher, resulting in his collapse. He is currently receiving treatment in an undisclosed hospital.
The incident has sparked outrage in the community, with the District Police Officer stepping in to handle the matter. Authorities have ordered the traditional ruler to present his son, Abdulbatin, for questioning.
This disturbing case has left many questioning the state of discipline and respect in schools today. Stay tuned as the investigation unfolds.
The assault by students on the teacher must be condemned and punished. It’s hoped that thorough investigation will be made to reprimand,punish and rehabilitate all the culprits. The School system and its regulatory system need be rehabilitated.
Our society is losing its sanity,we need all hands on deck to bring it back to the path of rectitude.
