…To Prosecute Abusers With Child Rights Law

Following a viral video showing senior students abusing their junior colleagues in Edo College in Edo State, the state government has suspended the school’s principal, Peter Edomwonyi, and House Master, Oamen Stanley, indefinitely.

In a statement, the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Osarodion Ogie, said the principal remained suspended until investigation was concluded.

The SSG said the video had exposed the incompetence of the management of the school authority and the delinquent behaviour of the students who carried out the abusive action.

He said students involved in the abusive behaviour had been handed over to the Ministry of Justice for investigation and prosecution in accordance with the Child Rights Law.

The statement reads in part: “The Edo State Government has watched with disdain the disturbing viral social media video of abuse by students of Edo College, Benin City.

“The State Ministry of Education, on enquiry, discovered that the incident took place at the college premises and involved Senior Secondary School (SSS) students of Akenzua Hall of residence who are writing their National Examination Council (NECO) final examination.

“The Edo State Ministry of Health is reaching out to the victims to ascertain the state of their health and provide the necessary support.”

The state government, while assuring of its commitment to maintaining a school environment that is safe for children, apologised to the victims of the abuse, their parents and members of the public.
