With deep pain and righteous indignation, I mourn the tragic and avoidable death of Mr. Adegoke Fatai, a dedicated teacher who was brutally attacked by his own students while trying to stop them from gambling during school hours.
This horrifying act is not just an assault on one man, it is an attack on the entire teaching profession. A teacher who stood for discipline and integrity was beaten, had his limbs broken, and eventually died from his injuries. What a painful reflection of moral decay and loss of values in our schools and homes!
I call on the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) Ogbomoso Zone, TESCOM, and law enforcement authorities to act swiftly and decisively. Those students must be arrested, prosecuted, and made to face the full weight of the law. Their parents, too, must not escape responsibility. Silence at this moment is complicity.
Teachers are not slaves. We are nation builders,deserving of protection, respect, and dignity in the line of duty.
Let this be the last time any teacher’s blood is shed in vain.
Justice for Mr. Adegoke Fatai!
Justice for the teaching profession!
Thanks to you all.
