One Abidemi Oluwaseun, 35, has been arrested by the police in Ogun State, for invading a public school with thugs to attack a teacher who he accused of beating his 15 years old daughter.
The suspect was arrested on Tuesday with two others – 25 years old Fayesele Olabanji and 24 years old Alebiosu Quawiyu, following a distress call received from the principal of Baptist Girls College, Idiaba, Abeokuta.
The principal reported that three men invaded the school with an unregistered vehicle, armed with brand new cutlass and threatening to hack down a teacher of the school.
Upon the distress call, the Divisional Police Officer, DPO, Kemta division, CSP Opebiyi Sunday, mobilised his men and moved to the scene where the three men were apprehended right inside the school premises.
The unregistered Toyota car and the cutlass were recovered from them.
On interrogation, Abidemi Oluwaseun confirmed hiring the other two men to the school to teach the teacher who beat his daughter a lesson of his life.
Preliminary investigation, according to Ogun State police spokesman, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, revealed that, while the teacher was teaching, some of the students including the suspect’s daughter were mocking the teacher and distracting other students.
The teacher after identifying those disturbing the class caned them as a corrective measure, but the suspect’s daughter went home and reported to her farther consequent upon which her father mobilized two thugs and stormed the school with cutlass.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole, has ordered that the suspects be properly investigated and charged to court as soon as possible.
He also warned that the command under his watch would not tolerate such unruly behaviour in any public or private institution, which might amount to taking the laws into one’s hand.
