The Edo State Government, on Tuesday, suspended the Principal and House Master of the Akenzua Hall, Edo College, Benin, over a disturbing video that surfaced on the Internet on Monday, where some senior students were seen mercilessly beating a junior student, who was stripped naked.
The government stated that the Ministry of Education, on enquiry, discovered that the incident took place on the college premises and involved Senior Secondary School students of the Akenzua Hall, who are taking their National Examinations Council final examination. The statement read in part, “On account of the above, the government has taken the following steps: the Principal of the college, Mr Peter Edomwonyi, has been instructed to proceed on suspension, effective immediately. He is to hand over all property and assets of the school in his possession to the next most senior vice-principal of the school. He is to remain on suspension until the investigation into the incident is concluded and the government provides further directive on the matter.
