A secondary school teacher has been reported killed in a fight with his student in Delta State.

 

A fight broke out between the student, Michael Ogbeife, and the teacher, Joseph Ossai of Erhimu Secondary School, Abraka, Delta State on Thursday.

The late teacher was in charge of Agricultural Science and Biology in the said school until his demise.

The SS3 student was said to have fought the teacher after the teacher flogged his younger sister, Promise Ogbeife, who was involved in a dispute with her classmate.

According to sources in the school, Michael became angry after his sister was flogged,  and headed straight to the staff room to fight the teacher.

Ossai was said to have collapsed after punches from the student gave him a bleeding nose while blood gushed from his mouth.

Chief Whip of the Senate and former Governor of Abia State, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, visited the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) on Monday.

The senator announced the visit in a post on his verified Facebook page.

He said he discussed with Kanu, who according to him, was in good health and care.

“This afternoon, I visited my brother, Maazi Nnamdi Kanu in DSS custody, Abuja. I met him in good health and care and we discussed as ‘Umunne’. In 2001 when I was Governor, I made his father Eze Israel Okwu Kanu traditional ruler of Akwara Ukwu and since then the family has been very close to me.

“I understand that Nnamdi has an insane amount of people rooting for his back home and I encouraged him to consider the consequences of certain actions and utterances for the sake of the same people.

“Even though my ideology and his ideology are totally different, God has made us brothers and we can’t run away from each other. I owe him and Nigerians good counseling …Whether he and his family listens to me or not, I will continue counseling him as I have always done in the past. What we need most is a peaceful and secured society.
