A teacher identified as Chuks Igbani has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly brutalising a pupil in the Igborosun area of Badagry.
A video spotted on social media shows the teacher beating the pupil aggressively with a cane and pushing her against some furniture.
The pupil could be heard saying she wants to die as the teacher replies to her by saying she should die while hitting her.
At a point in the video, the pupil agrees to read, but Igbani continues flogging her.
The Lagos State Police Command in a statement through its spokesperson, Bala Elkana, noted that the teacher was arrested on Wednesday and would be charged.
“The man was arrested by policemen from the Badagry division and he is in custody,” he added.
However, the Public Affairs Officer, Ministry of Education, Kayode Abayomi, said the government had sent a team to investigate the incident.
He said, “The Ministry of Education has sent some staff to investigate it. The place is an unregistered centre, but the ministry still awaits the report of the team to know the next line of action. But one thing I am certain about is that once the centre is not approved by the state government, it will be closed down.”
