A female teacher, identified as Dorcas Gibson, have reportedly beaten to death a 13-year-old JSS2 student over homework.

The deceased student, Yahaya Nuhu of  the Federal Government College, Kwali, in Abuja was reportedly beaten to death by his teacher after failing to submit his homework on Monday, August 9.

According to Daily Nigerian, the school authorities are trying to cover up the killing by attributing the cause of the death to cerebral malaria while on admission at Rema Clinic in Kwali.

Already the school management had presented a death certificate to the family, showing that Nuhu died of Malaria which the parents of the deceased accepted in good Faith without suspecting foul play according to report.

Initially, when the school authorities realized that Nuhu died as a result of the beating, they quickly arranged a van to take his body to the school clinic and later Rema Clinic to cover up the murder.

But two days after Yahaya’s death, fresh facts that revealed the cause of Yahaya’s death emerged when a group of school mates visited the family to sympathize with them.

According to the testimony of the schoolmates of the deceased, Yahaya had told the teacher about his indisposition when she requested that homework be submitted.

Dissatisfied with the late student’s response, the teacher ordered him to go and remove weed as punishment. After completing the task, the teacher then beat him to death.

“During Period 8, Mrs Gibson entered and requested for assignment submissions. Yahaya and I failed to submit and as a result she ordered us to take out weed.

“Yahaya had informed the teacher he was ill and didn’t do the assignment. Nevertheless, she ordered us to clear the weeds, after which we returned to class.

“His head was resting on the desk due to the illness but she severely beat him on the head with a metal bucket handle until he passed out,” one of the students narrated.
