The mother of a boy who sustained injuries from the whipping told reporters on Monday that she had been away and recently returned to find her son was being physically assaulted in school.
Upon speaking to the boy’s aunt and grandmother, reporters learned that the teacher taught primary school and often hit students with hard objects, like rulers and chalkboard erasers.
The boy said he had been whipped by the teacher until he bled.
The reporters spoke to other students who confirmed the teacher’s abusive behaviour.
