Ogun State Government, through the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, has suspended a teacher alleged to have beaten and punished Master Monday Arijo, an SS2 pupil of Obada Grammar School, Obada, Idi-emi, which led to his death.
The incident, which occurred last Friday, also led to the arrest of the teacher, as the Head Teacher, Mrs. Tamrat Onaolapo, was queried for allowing corporal punishment to be used on the pupil, against established rules and regulations in the state.
The head teacher was given 24 hours to explain her actions and why disciplinary actions should not be taken against her for acting against the instructions of constituted authority.
Subsequently, a letter of condolence was sent to the bereaved family, commiserating with them on the sudden death of their son and promising to get justice for the family.
The letter, signed by the permanent secretary of the ministry, described the late learner as an exceptional pupil, who would be missed by his colleagues, the school and the state at large.
It prayed for requisite strength for the family to bear the irreplaceable loss, as well as for the repose of the departed soul.
