Some students of the Federal Government College, Enugu State, have been left with scars after they were mercilessly flogged by their hostel masters on Democrat day.
This was made known by one Gloria, who saw the students after the incident.
She said,
“This is the most barbaric thing to do students that were entrusted to school authorities by their parents and guardians.
“This is madness of the highest order which is unexpected from the school teachers. According to the students, on the night of 29th May, 2018, around 12:38am, their hostel masters came into their hostels with cains, belts, and clubs and started assaulting them.”
She said the students thought it was armed robbers that attacked them, but as the assault went on, they recognised the voice of their teachers as well as their faces.
She said some of the students were flogged until they were unconscious while others were taken to the school security room where they spent the night after the injuries inflicted on them.
Reports said the students on the next day rallied up in unison and refused to participate in any school activities or functions, even the exam they were supposed to write on May 3o, 2018.
The school authority reportedly called the police on the students and some of them were arrested while others were beaten.
