A student of Ozar secondary
school, Asa in Ukwa West LGA of Abia State, who was sent home by one of her
teachers, Mrs Njoku on Monday to cut her hair, returned with her mother
and elder siblings to attack teachers and students .
The JSS 2 student, Precious
Nwadike, had earlier been warned by same teacher two weeks ago to cut her
hair but she did not heed to the warning.
Thus, on arrival to school on
Monday, the student was asked to go home and cut her hair.
She left immediately, only to
return two hours later with her mother and four of her siblings who marched
straight to the staff room and commanded the teachers to come out.
The mother, Mrs Nwadike
held the teacher, pulled her cloth and ordered the sons to cut her hair.
The intervention of another
teacher, Mrs Osuagwu provoked the sons and one of them, Uche almost strangled
her.
The intervention of students led
to a free for all fight, which Mrs Nwadike and her children appeared to be
fully prepared for.
A youth corp member serving in
the school who pleaded anonymity had to alert the military personnel.
Their quick arrival at the
school calmed the situation and doused the tension.
Mrs Nwadike and children were
arrested and detained at the Obehie police station, in Asa.
The Principal of the school Mrs
F.N Nwachukwu, took the wounded students and teachers to obehie Health Center
for treatment.
