A school teacher identified as Mr. Emmanuel is currently on the run for allegedly beating his student, Boluwatife Omelaja, to death, in Ikorodu, Lagos state on Thursday, November 26.
Ridwan Oyewenmi, brother to the deceased, disclosed this while calling on Nigerians on social media to help him seek justice after the school teacher who killed his brother.
According to his tweet, Emmanuel said the teacher beat Omelaja due to his inability to answer a question.
His tweet reads; “Twitter NG I just lost my brother to School Teacher Brutality. Mr. Emmanuel (frame 1) is a Sec school teacher at Elihans college, Ikorodu in Lagos. He beat up my brother Boluwatife Omelaja to death on the 6th of November on the school premises because he couldn’t answer a math question he was asked correctly.
“The school initially made us believe he slumped and died while he was trying to answer the question on the board, a boy who wasn’t ill or showed any sign of sickness before.
“He was brought home in the school’s bus by the school proprietress and principal, along with Mr. Emma-whom we didn’t know was the killer at that time, and he was buried few hours according to Muslim doctrine.
“Meanwhile Bolu’s other brother, Lateef Omelaja was prevented from leaving the school premises, to prevent him from spreading the true news to us at home and to buy Mr. Emma more time to run away.
“We believed the cock and bull story the school fed us not until Lafeef phone at around 5 pm rated what happened at the school to us.
“We also confirmed this from other students of the school including classmates of Boluwatife.
“The painful part is, the school keeps trying cover-up for Mr Emma claiming he didn’t beat Bolu.
“Mr. Emma is on the run, nowhere to be found.
“I know no amount of punishment for him will bring back my brother but, I just want Mr. Emma located and justice served.
