A two-year-old student is recovering from injuries she sustained after her teacher allegedly beat her cruelly for failing to repeat the Alphabets.
The school in question, according to Twitter user @WakaWaka tailor, is located in Maza Maza, Lagos state. He claims the teacher said that his niece was not the only one who received 24 cane strokes and that she would be flogged again if necessary.
However, the Lagos State Ministry of Education (Office of Quality Assurance), the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Youth and Social Development have formed a team to investigate the situation.
He said, “This is my 2-year-old niece that was flogged mercilessly bcos she couldn’t recite the English alphabets.
“When my sister, the mother confronted the teacher, she boasted that it wasn’t only the girl that was flogged but others were also flogged 24 strokes each (children of below 3 years o). And that she will flog them that this one is just testing.
“My sister also told me that one of her children came back the other day bleeding from the nose. When she asked her, the girl said she was flogged on the head, she confronted the school and they denied it. This one they can’t deny cos the marks of the flogging is there.
“The owner of the school, according to my sister accused her of wanting to bring down her school when she reported to her.
“The name of the school is unique vilos.16 alahun-ozumba street, maza-maza Lagos.”
