A teacher, Emeka Nwogbo flogged Obina Udeze on Monday, leaving marks of cane on his body.
Udeze then fell sick as a result of the beating and was taken to the Federal Medical Centre, Asaba where his health condition deteriorated until he eventually died on Saturday morning.
Operatives of the Nigerian Police have now arrested the son of a proprietress and teacher at the private school in Asaba, Delta State, Southern Nigeria in connection with the death.
The victim’s mother, Gift, said her son returned from the school – Arise and Shine Nursery and Primary School – on Monday with marks all over his body.
She said, “I took him back to the school immediately to enquire why he was beaten that much. The proprietress asked me if I knew the gravity of my son’s offence; a boy of a year and seven months. I told her I would come back the next day to know the person who beat him.
“On my way home, some pupils of the same school told me how my son was tied up and given several strokes of cane because he said he was hungry. Throughout the night, he was running temperature. On Tuesday, I took him to the school to complain. The woman said I was disturbing the peace of the school.
“On Thursday, he went into a coma. That was when I involved a non-governmental organisation and the police went to the school. The woman’s son (Nwogbo) told the police that he flogged my son.
“He said he (Udeze) was playing with the tap but his mother even said my son’s hand couldn’t reach where the tap is. At the GRA Police Station, he changed the narrative; he said my son pushed another child and he beat him. The proprietress herself claimed my son was stubborn and cried a lot.”
“They said she collected the box from him and complained that he cried too much. They said the proprietress’ son tied him up and started flogging him. He was my only child; my everything. He became so weak and died this morning (Saturday) at the emergency ward of the FMC.”
