It was gathered that the crisis began after a teacher ‘disciplined’ two SS3 students, who were allegedly disrupting classes with loud music (MP3) during school hours.

According to Tbe Sun, in the process, the teacher was reportedly assaulted, after which some youths allegedly invaded the school premises, throwing the environment into chaos and violence.

It was further learnt that staff members of the school were allegedly beaten and forced to flee into nearby bushes for safety, while roads leading out of the school were blocked.

Several staff members were said to have sustained injuries, while concerns remain over the whereabouts and safety of others. 

A Facebook user, David C. Oguzie, shared a video and photos of one of the students he claimed to be his sister. 

“Just look at what a newly transferred English teacher has done to my younger sister because of what she didn’t even know; but (he) even let people who committed the offence to go free,” he wrote.

“This happened at Community Secondary School Odagwa, Etche L.G.A. Please, government should do something about it because, if anything happens to her, hmm.”
