Ekwenam, who teaches Agricultural Science at the school, beat up the Junior Secondary School 2 pupil for allegedly failing to come early for a make-up test.
His mother, Adejoke, told our correspondent that she was shocked to find marks of beating on her son’s body when she went to pick him up after the closing time. “People at the hospital wondered if he had an accident because there were marks of cane on his two hands and buttocks. They were annoyed. The doctor treated him and put POP in his hand. He was discharged the following day.”
A source at the DSVRT said a team visited the school after receiving the petition and interacted with the parties involved, including pupils who witnessed the incident. Our correspondent learnt that the case was referred to the Gender Unit of the Lagos State Police Command in Ikeja and Ekwenam was arrested.
Reacting to the incident, the school principal, Rev. Olubusola Sokefun, in a letter sent to our correspondent said he queried Ekwenam upon receiving the report of the assault and a panel was set up to look into the matter.
This is an unfortunate incident.
I know this teacher...his one of the best in Anglican girls college before he was posted.. wish him all the best

The mad teacher should be punished but not sacked, please.
The teacher should be banned from teaching for life !
Which teacher is that? I guess he or she wants trouble from the patents of the child.
Hope the teacher has been arrested
A student once broke his legs while trying to escape the flogging of the most dangerous teacher(introTech) in my school, back then.. He practically jumped from a three-storey building
Why is It that Agric teachers & intro tech teachers are the most feared teachers in most public secondary schools...
He better be dead before I get there if it was my child or family member
