A Heartbreaking Tragedy: A Call for Justice and immediate Reform — NANS OGUN JCC




Our hearts are heavy with grief and sorrow as we mourn the untimely passing of a young student at Obada Idi Emi Grammar School. This tragic incident, where a teacher allegedly beat a student to death over a trivial matter, has sent shockwaves through the community and the state as a whole.
According to the press statement jointly signed by Comrade Adeyanju Francis Chairman, NANS, Ogun JCC and Comrade Sodiq Hassan, Public Relations Officer, NANS, Ogun JCC, “We extend our deepest condolences to the bereaved family and friends of the deceased student. May they find solace and strength during this difficult time.”

“This senseless act of violence is a stark reminder of the urgent need for reform within our educational system. Corporal punishment, in any form, has no place in a modern and humane society. It is a barbaric practice that can have devastating consequences, as we have tragically witnessed.” 

“We call upon the Ogun State Government, Ministry Of Education, Nigeria Police Force to take immediate action to address this issue and prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future. The culprit responsible for this heinous crime must be brought to justice and held accountable for their actions. Failure to do so will not only be a grave injustice to the victim and their family but will also embolden others to perpetrate similar acts of violence.”

We urge all relevant authorities, including the Ministry of Education, the State House of Assembly, and the Nigeria Police Force, to conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and take appropriate disciplinary action against the teacher involved.

We the leadership of National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Ogun State JCC will remain vigilant as we advocate for the rights of student. If justice is not served promptly, we fear that the situation may escalate into a wider crisis and to prevent this we call on the appropriate authorities to do the needful as we are watching closely and expect the investigation to be a open and transparent one.

We also use this medium urge the general public and the affected family to remain calm as we will not rest until Justice prevails

It is imperative that we work together to create a safe and nurturing learning environment for our members. Let us honor the memory of the deceased student by demanding accountability, promoting positive disciplinary measures, and ensuring that such a tragedy never happens again.
