The Oyo State government has suspended a female student of Jericho High School, Ibadan, whose mother brought thugs to the school to assist a teacher for disciplining her, vowing to take further action on the matter in due course.
The Honourable Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Barrister Rahman Abiodun Abdu-Raheem, stated this on Tuesdya, after a meeting with key education stakeholders in Ibadan.
Expressing the displeasure of Oyo State government over the incident, which led to the student’s suspension, Adbu-Raheem disclosed that the student in company of her mother, recently invaded the school with hefty thugs and miscreants assaulting a male student, teachers and other parents during an ongoing Parents/Teachers’ Association, PTA meeting.
The mayhem was said to be ignited by the girl’s mother and other accomplices, thereby causing tension in the school.
Barr. Abdu-Raheem noted that the state government is taking further action, to serve as a deterrent to other unguided parents and wards.
He appealed for caution, emphasizing that the present government has zero tolerance for impunity, while charging students, parents and all stakeholders to take advantage of Governor Seyi Makinde’s free qualitative education programs.
