He told newsmen in Zaria, on Saturday that the commissioner of police in Kaduna has ordered for a thorough investigation in the matter, adding that, more would be arrested in connection with the death of the student. In a separate interview with newsmen, an uncle to the deceased student, Malam Isa Saidu of Kofar Kuyanbana area, Zaria, said his nephew Marwanu Nuhu-Sambo died on Oct. 20 at Al-azhar Academy, a private secondary school in Zaria.
“The late student was again taken to the principal’s office and flogged again, where he attempted to runaway but was prevented from running away by the school prefects. “He was still beaten to the extent that he lost some of his teeth and then went into a coma and subsequently lost his life,” Saidu said.
