.The suspects
Operatives of the Ogun State Police Command say they have arrested one Abidemi Oluwaseun for allegedly invading a public school in Abeokuta with two thugs in a bid to attack a teacher.
The incident occurred on Tuesday 12th of October 2021 at the Baptist Girls College, Idiaba, Abeokuta.
Oluwaseun, according to crime report, had accused the teacher of flogging his 15-year-old daughter.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi said the suspect was arrested with two others accomplices: Fayesele Olabanji (25) and Alebiosu Quawiyu (24) following a distress call received from the principal of Baptist Girls College, Idiaba, Abeokuta, that three men invaded the school.
Oyeyemi added that the suspects came in an unregistered vehicle, armed with brand new cutlass and threatening to hack down a teacher of the school with the cutlass.
Acting on the distress call, he said the Divisional Police Officer, Kemta, CSP Opebiyi Sunday, mobilised his men and moved to the scene where the three men were apprehended right inside the school premises.
He added that the unregistered Toyota car and the cutlass were recovered from them.
During interrogation, the state police spokesman said Abidemi Oluwaseun confirmed hiring the other two men to the school to teach the teacher who flogged his daughter a lesson of his life.
Oyeyemi added, “Preliminary investigation revealed that, while the teacher was teaching, some of the students including the suspect’s daughter were mocking the teacher and distracting other students.
“The teacher after identifying those disturbing the class flogged them as a corrective measure, but the suspect’s daughter went home and reported to her father consequent upon which her father mobilised two thugs and stormed the school with a cutlass.
Meanwhile, the state Commissioner of Police, Lanre Bankole, has ordered that the suspects be properly investigated and charged to court as soon as possible.
He also warned that the command under his watch “will not tolerate such unruly behavior in any public or private institution, as such amount to taken laws into one’s hand.”
