Borno Teacher Arrested for Brutally Assaulting 10-Year-Old Pupil – Shocking Details Emerge

A primary school teacher in Borno State has been arrested after a viral video showed him mercilessly beating a 10-year-old pupil, sparking nationwide condemnation. 

The disturbing footage, which circulated on social media, depicts the teacher flogging the child repeatedly with a cane while other students watched in terror.

According to police reports, the incident occurred at a public school in Maiduguri, where the teacher allegedly punished the boy for "failing to answer a question correctly." The victim sustained severe injuries and is receiving medical treatment.

Borno State Commissioner of Police, Yusuf Mohammed, confirmed the arrest, vowing that the suspect would face the full wrath of the law. Child rights activists have demanded stricter punishments for abusive educators, calling the incident a "gross violation of children’s safety."

Will this case lead to stronger protections for Nigerian schoolchildren, or will corporal punishment continue unchecked?
