Assault Of Corps Member: Government To Punish Teacher

The Kwara State Government says a teacher, Fatima Amuzat, involved in the alleged assault of a National Youth Service corps member has been summoned and that necessary disciplinary procedures will be taken.

This was confirmed by the Press Secretary, Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development, Peter Amogbonjaye, on Friday.

Amogbonjaye quoted the Commissioner, Hajia Saadatu Modibbo-Kawu, as condemning the assault.

The News Agency of Nigeria recalls that a female corps member was allegedly beaten up by teachers at the Government Day Secondary School, Kulende in Ilorin.

The corps member reportedly went to the school to pick up her clearance letter, but the teachers beat her up because they were upset that she had failed to greet them properly.

Amogbonjaye said the ministry’s Anti-Loitering Team and the management team of the Kwara State Teaching Service Commission had paid the school an unscheduled visit to investigate the matter and restore calmness.

He said: “She stressed that the state is known for peace and harmony and the state government will not allow anything to truncate the existing peace in its academic institutions.

“’The commissioner, however, appealed to the management of the National Youth Service Corps and all concerned people to be patient, remain law-abiding and perform their duties without fear.
