Anambra state has lost one of its future leaders to the cold hands of death.
With the rate at which students are being assaulted in a school, parents and guardians can only hope their wards get back home to them in a single piece each day they go to school.
Indeed, now more than ever, school owners, management, and staff now have more work to do.
Also, they have to be more alert than ever to ensure the safety of the lives entrusted to their care.
An 8-year-old male pupil named Henry Chukwuemeka Okonkwo, who was beaten to death by a teacher in Anambra State, has passed away.
In addition, it was earlier reported that the 30-year-old teacher at Landmark School Mgbakwu in Awka North Local Government Area of the state, Faith Nwonye, was arrested last weekend.
However, the State Commissioner for Education, Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, confirmed his death on Thursday, May 23, 2024.
“He was a boy, like any other, with hopes and aspirations.
He went to school for a better future but met gruesome death at the hands of the people who were supposed to help him achieve his life ambition.”
