The Nation Newspaper Police arrest school principal, deputy for flogging student to death
Police Command has confirmed the arrest of the Principal and Vice Principal of Al-Azhar School in Zaria, Kaduna State for their alleged involvement in corporal punishment, which resulted in the death of a student of the school.
“Two suspects have been arrested in connection with the development. The CP has directed a full scale investigation on the matter and we will get to its root,” Hassan said. “But instead of rushing him to the hospital, the prefects brought him out and dumped his body in the school premises near the male toilets until closing time.
In a statement it issued on the sad incident, the school’s management said the punishment meted out to the deceased pupil was not part of the school’s policy, adding that the officers who imposed “the irresponsible punishment did it without consultation.”
