The student who was in senior secondary one (SS1) was beaten repeatedly on the head for allegedly having bushy hair and not having a haircut before school day.
A student of Command Secondary School, Enugu has been reportedly flogged to death by a soldier whose identity is yet to be revealed.
The student who was in Senior Secondary One (SS1) was flogged and beaten repeatedly on the head for maintaining ‘bushy hair’.
The mother broke the news in a Facebook post on the Nkanu People of Enugu State Nigeria platform with pictures of the deceased showing a swollen eye and head before his demise.
According to SaharaReporters, the boy’s head started swelling, causing the parents to move him from one hospital to another until his death.
The mother of the deceased, Adaeze Chibuzo, on her Facebook page, wrote; “It is still very hard to believe that you are gone my son but one thing I know is that God will surely fight for us, rest in peace my son.
“Army man flogged my son in school to death in command sec, sch enugu. Rip my first fruit in life.”
Efforts to get reaction from the Army were unsuccessful as the Deputy Army Public Relations, 82 Division, Col Abubakar Abdullahi, did not answer calls placed by the medium on his cell phone.
