Tuesday, June 3, 2025 - Operatives of the Ondo State Police Command have arrested a woman, Dorcas Asije and four others for allegedly assaulting a Vice Principal of a secondary school in Ondo State.
Alexander Rotifa, the Vice Principal of Complete Child
Development Centre, Awule, Akure, was a few days ago brutally beaten by thugs
allegedly hired by Asije, mother of a student of the school over the failure to
allow her son, Wisdom Elisha to cheat in the ongoing West African Senior School
Certificate Examination, WASSCE.
Hell was said to have let loose after the student’s mother
confronted Rotifa for confiscating her son’s android phone while in the
examination hall.
Confirming the arrest of the suspects, the Police Public
Relations Officer in the state, Olayinka Ayanlade, disclosed that the suspects
were apprehended following the orders of the Commissioner of Police, Wilfred
Afolabi.
Ayanlade further stressed that case had been transferred to
State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, and will be charged to court
upon conclusion of investigation.
“Acting on the directive of the Commissioner of Police, CP
Wilfred Olutokunbo Afolabi, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Operations) led
a tactical team to ensure their swift arrest. The case has been transferred to
SCID and will be charged to court upon conclusion of investigation.”
Meanwhile, the state government had earlier vowed to take
action over the development, stating that arrangements for the safety of the
staff and students of the school for the period of the remaining papers in
WASSCE had being made.
