Pandemonium At Modebe School As Students punched Senior Prefect to death -----Panic at PPSSC

Confusion best described the mood at Modebe Secondary School, Onitsha, Tuesday when the Senior Prefect late 17 years old Chukwuebuka Okanume, was killed by a fellow student over indiscipline.

Odogwublog.com reportedly gathered that trouble started when the Senior Prefect queried his assailant (Names withheld) a Junior student in SS1, for flying his shirt while in the school.

The Junior student allegedly told him that he was no longer in the school that he came for his transfer certificate to Asaba, Delta State Capital.

But allegedly, the Senior prefect did not believe his tale and a heated argument ensued resulting in the Senior Prefect slapping the Junior and the junior retaliated with a undercut super blow that hit the late senior prefect and knocked him out.

Probably the ring worn by the junior student believed to be a potent with a charm, made the boxing escapade with the senior prefect a death sentence and he slumped instantly.

Late Chukwuebuka was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was confirmed dead later by the medical team at the hospital.

 And Odogwublog.com gathered that the family Okanume of Uke, Idemili North Local Government Area, Anambra State, described the incident as unfortunate wondering why their son who could not harm a fly was to die this way.

 The principal of the school, Mr. Ralph Machie, laden with emotions confirmed the incident but declined further comment.

The Chairman of the Post Primary School Services Commission Board (PPSSCB) , Mrs Joy Ulasi allegedly was panic stricken over the incident and was so confused she cancelled all engagements today allegedly but calls to her mobile phone and a message to her Watsap was not responded to as at the time of filling this report.

And when contacted Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Uche Eze said that investigation was on going to unravel the mystery behind the death.

Although the suspect was arrested by the police, students in and around Onitsha confirmed some cult members use the charm, codenamed “Etiada” --- knock and fall to defend themselves when attacked.

Unconfirmed reports had it as well that the mother of the deceased pleaded with the Junior student to revive her son but the boy was adamant.

odogwublog.com recalled that about ten months ago , a teacher at St John of God Awka had in a process of disciplining a student allegedly ‘’killed’’ the student as the student collapsed after a little reprimand can for not doing an assignment they were given.

The innocent but prayerful teacher did all within her powers to deliver the chap from dying but all her efforts were proved abortive as the student died.

Following that incident, the Anambra state government banned corporal punishment in any disguise and since them most students started misbehaving to the extreme , as we observed.
