According to the report,the student in question was flogged by her Igbo teacher and class mistress earlier in the morning for not sweeping the class according to class roster.
The student had allegedly responded in an insulting manner to the teacher when she inquired why the class wasn't swept.
After the teacher asked her to kneel down before the class but the student reportedly refused ,the teacher annoyingly flogged her and she fled the class from the school fence, and ran home.
As at 3:23pm same day, she came back with a lady believed to be her mother and a young man who claimed to be the uncle. She forced her way into the school and went to the classroom of the girl to find out that the said teacher had gone for private school teachers meeting same day. She was directed to the Proprietress' office .
According to the Proprietress, she said that she was with one of her employee named Okamelu Tochukwu (Physics Teacher) when the woman came to her office to vent her anger.
I was in my office with one of my teachers when she came in, after her report and confirmation from the students that the teacher flogged the said Okafor Chinaza, I pleaded with the mother and uncle to allow the school dive into the issue with diplomacy as revenge won't yield needed result. She had accepted to forget and forgive as I promised her that we will handle the case with ease.
The teacher was believed to be coming back from the private teachers meeting she went to, when she met the student and her mother. Upon getting close to them, the student who came with her mother and other relatives, pointed at the teacher to the mother as she rushed to hit her (the teacher) with the stick she had come with. After a while, the teacher collapsed and was rushed to Iyi-Enu Hospital Ogidi where the doctor confirmed her dead moments later.
Currently, the parents and the student are being detained by the police in Ogidi police station.
