Kwara Govt Responds: Teacher Demoted for Assaulting Female Corps Member
The Kwara State government has taken disciplinary action against a teacher, Mrs. Fatima Hamzat, at Government Day Secondary School, Kulende, Ilorin, after she allegedly assaulted a female NYSC corps member.
The incident reportedly occurred because the corps member failed to greet the teacher while visiting the school to collect a clearance letter.
The Kwara State Commissioner for Education, Hajia Sa’adatu Modibbo-Kawu, condemned the assault, describing it as unacceptable and contrary to the values of peace and harmony in the state.
The teacher has been demoted, and the corps member was relocated for her safety and to help her recover from the trauma.
The NYSC authorities have been involved and are seeking redress for the corps member, with the state government pledging further actions to ensure accountability and prevent such incidents in the future.
