TRUE SITUATION OF OBADA COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL INCIDENCE BY ASUSS OGUN STATE
I have been receiving different videos from a blogger named Toun about the death of one of our students at Obada in Imeko Avon Local Government.
Please permit me to give you all what happened, the deceased was not the only one beaten but entire class of SS2 because when the Principal of the school was addressing the students on the assembly that she has used her money to buy big waste dust bins for the school which shall be placed at strategic place in the compound, one of them said ‘is it not with our money that you used to buy it’, the principal asked them to fetch the culprit out but none of them was ready to talk, this made the whole class to be given two strokes of a cane each in the presence of the school Principal and not 162 as the blogger have said.
It was later on that when they found out after the deceased have been beaten that he fell down and was quickly treated medically that they found marks on his body, after he regained consciousness, they asked him what happened and he said he had a bike accident prior to the time he was beaten with others because they saw marks on his body, they told him why can’t he speak out that he was not well so that he can be spared and later attended to when he will be alright, he said he doesn’t feel like telling anyone but as we all know death won’t come without hanging on something. It’s a pity we lost our son but in the interest of the live involved, I appeal that we allow the matter to be because the parent is still mourning now seriously.
The Union leadership is on top of this issue and we are planning to visit the parents anytime . A sane individual at this time won’t be writing or sending unwarranted videos that will be bringing sorrow more to the deceased parent.
The emergency journalists should keep off on this issue to respect the grief of the parents and teaching as a whole.
Please disregard all videos being spread on social media pages my dear comrades.
May God comfort and console our dear parent of the deceased and may we not see this type again in our midst. As we all know every job has his hazards, this is one of the hazards we must accept.
Thanks.
