IT’S SO SHOCKING, UNBELIEVABLE AND INHUMAN. Many people who witnessed this development expressed angst at the manner teachers, principal and proprietor of a high school in Ayetoro, Ogun State take laws into their hands by publicly tying students to crucifixes, beating them for coming late to school. <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Three people including a school principal have been arrested in Nigeria for allegedly tying two students to makeshift crucifixes and flogging them for coming late to school.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The pupils were being flogged by a teacher in front of their school Wednesday morning in the remote town of Ayetoro, Ogun State, northwest of Lagos.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Abimbola Oyeyemi, Ogun State police spokesman reportedly said: “They were tied to a wooden trees made to look like a crucifix when a policeman on patrol saw them. They told the principal and the school proprietor to untie them and they refused. They even beat one of the people who intervened.\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Eye witness confirmed a Nigerian boy was tied to a cross for coming late to a private school in Ayetoro, Ogun State, south-west Nigeria on April 16, 2018. The state’s police command said it was investigating the case and said the school’s principal, owner, and a teacher have been charged with assault and intention to cause grievous bodily harm.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

For the records, Corporal punishment is a common form of discipline in many Nigerian schools despite increasing evidence of its negative outcomes on children. <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Nigeria is not among the 60 countries states <\/b> <\/b><\/span>and territories that have banned its use against children though internationals organizations are calling for it to be outlawed.<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The United Nations children agency estimates that around 300 million children aged two to for receive some form of physical discipline from their parents or caregivers on a regular basis.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
