 The Delta State government has shut down a primary school in Asaba following the death of a 19-month-old pupil, Obinna Udeze. The victim died from injuries sustained by teacher Emeka Moubo, who reportedly flogged him on Monday, leaving marks on his body. The little boy was said to have fallen sick after the beating and was taken to the Federal Medical Center, Asaba. His health condition deteriorated until he eventually died on Saturday morning. The Delta State Commissioner for Basic Education Chika Osai said the school was not approved by the state government. Meanwhile, the accused teacher is currently in police custody while investigations are ongoing.
