My Son’s Ear Affected By Class Teacher’s Repeated Slaps – Mother by Ishilove: 4:45pm On Jan 11
In this interview with IMOLEAYO OYEDEYI, widowed mother of a three-year-old pupil assaulted by a female teacher at Christ-Miltos Primary School, Ikorodu, Lagos, Mrs Adenike Okunlaya, recounts how the incident played out and her daily struggles to fend for her son since her husband’s death three years ago.

Can you explain how the whole incident happened?

The incident happened on Monday (January 6, 2025). I am also a teacher in the school. I teach Nursery Two, while my son is in Nursery One. On that very day, I was in my class while my colleague, the teacher in question, was also in her class. Suddenly, I heard, ‘Write six; write six’. Later, another colleague brought her phone to show me the video. So, I sent it to my phone and forwarded it to one of my friends.

Before then, have there been instances of such from the woman?

Yes, my boy usually complained to me that the teacher beat him often, but I thought it was just the usual spanking. I didn’t take it seriously because the woman was my colleague at work. However, when I saw the video, I felt sad. That was why I sent the video to my friend, who shared it with another person. I guess that was how the tape got leaked.

But when you saw the video, did you challenge the teacher or make an official complaint to the management office?

No, I didn’t challenge her, and I did not make any report. I only showed the video to my pastor, who reported the case to the headmistress. I felt bad about the way my son was treated. All I want is justice for him.

When the video surfaced on social media, what was the response of the school management?

They felt really bad because they had always warned the teachers against beating the pupils. They always told us not to beat children.

Some people said the teacher was fond of beating children in such a manner. How true is this?

Regarding that, truly, the woman often beats children a lot.

But has any parent complained of such before yours happened?

Well, I can’t say. But the school management always warned us, and even the women, to stop beating children. Most times, they told us during meetings that parents were complaining and that we should stop beating their children.

Was your son hospitalised after the assault?

Yes, we had to take him to the Ikorodu General Hospital. The doctor said his ears had been affected. So, they directed us to a department in the hospital for a medical check-up of his ears. The doctors gave us a medical report, which is still with Supo Bola at the Owutu Police Station.

We plan to take the report to the ear-care department once we get back from the Ministry of Youths and Social Development today (Friday). The commissioner asked us to bring the boy today (Friday). All I am after is to get justice for my son.

We learnt that the management of the school sacked the woman. When did that happen?

They sacked the teacher on Tuesday before the police came to arrest her.

We heard that the school seized your phone. When did that happen, and have they returned it?

Yes, they seized it on Tuesday because people called me endlessly through the phone as the video went viral. Those who called were asking me all sorts of questions. I guess that was why the school seized the phone. But they returned it to me on Thursday.

We learnt that you are a widow. When did you lose your husband?

It has been three years now since he died. We only had this son before he died. Since he passed, I have been fending for the son myself. I engage in all manners of menial work just for us to survive. I teach in the school and help people wash dirty clothes and clean their houses. Despite my struggles, I did not owe any tuition fees.

That's a very wicked act which the woman should be punished for. The school authority also shares in this by not training their employees or monitoring their behaviour while in the school.

It's bad.

This woman failed her son abeg. I don't know if she is a weakling, or if it is just condition that has made so 'gentle'.

As for the school, they need to be questioned. Why did it have to take a social media uproar for them to take action, even after the pastor reported??

This kid was failed by those who should have protected him.

Nah so, she should probably have waited till her child becomes deaf or worse beaten to death before arresting the teacher.

Cause in 2025 it is normal to abuse people's kids in the name of "punishment".

Oga, read the article from top to bottom and stop arguing blindly. Everything is there and I can't open your head and force the clearly written details into it.

You were even reluctant to challenge her. This means that is the norms in the school

What the teacher did is so condemnable. She's a wicked person. Beating such a young baby to write 60/61 at that age is wrong. Shows that she lacks any education background

hahahahahahahaha. Cash out from school. Fantastically corrupt people. Your own slap dishing on the boy is probably worse. He took the slaps like a pro. People are doing slapping competition on social media, now we a making a mountain of what is 'normal' in Nigerian schools. SMH. Na really who dem catch be thief, hypocrites.

Teacher, don't teach me nonsense - Fela Kuti.


A teacher who is thoroughly frustrated in life shouldn't be allowed to teach at all.


They carry their frustration to school and vent it on innocent pupils and students.


Sacking her isn't enough!


She must face the full weight of the law!


Gbam!

This is a very serious matter and I pray for quick recovery

I will share a sad story that leads to the death of a lady close to my family.
This girl received a HEAVY slap from a senior when she was in JSS3.When
she got home she told her Mum,she complained of slight headache and her Mum gave her paracetamol and the headache dissapeared.
While growing up,she complains about headache and pain from her left ear like once a year and they never took it serious.
She decided to take the issue serious when she started noticing pus coming out from her ear.Lo and behold,tumor has started growing in her ear,the left side of her face became bigger....
She was flown to India for suggery which was successful but tumor never stop growing.He face was disfigured,her head grow bigger and you could hardly recognize her again.She eventually died 2 years ago.

If your child got home and tell you that a teacher slapped him/her in school,dont waste time,take the child to hospital for a check.
Whatever the outcome of the report is,return to the school and descend heavily on that teacher.
