A pupil-teacher in Nigeria has landed into trouble for allegedly brutalising a toddler to the verge of almost making her lose her sight.
A 2-year-old pupil of Day Spring Royal Academy, Ibadan, Oyo State, identified as Akintola Damife, is currently in unbearable pain after allegedly being injured by her teacher.
According to a relative of the victim, they saw a deep cut on Damife’s face and accosted her teacher whose name has been given as Mrs Odugbesan.
When confronted, she claims a soft drink bottle fell and broke into the child’s eye.
“I suspect is a fallacy because we interrogated the victim and even though she couldn’t speak well, she said the injury wasn’t as a result of the bottle. We’ve handed her over to the police and hope we get positive results at the end of the day.”
The development comes a few days after a 12-year-old student of Dowen College in Nigeria, Sylvester Oromoni, died from complications of assault allegedly metered out to him by some of his colleagues.
According to the deceased victim, some seniors of the school took matters into their own hands after he refused to join a secret cult they intended to initiate him into.
