Laura was reacting to news of the death in Asaba, Delta State, of a one-year-seven-month-old pre-Nursery pupil of the school, Obina Udeze boy, who died five days after his teacher, Emeka Nwogbo, had reportedly flogged Udeze, leaving marks of the cane on his body.
The little boy was said to have fallen sick after the beating and was taken to the Federal Medical Centre, Asaba. It was learnt that his health condition deteriorated until he eventually died on Saturday morning.
