Some students of the Zappa Secondary School in Asaba, the Delta State capital, have been arrested by the police for allegedly attacking one of their teachers.
The attackers were alleged to have perpetrated the act under the influence of hard drugs.
The students, who carried out the attack after the completion of their first term examination on Friday, attacked the teacher while he was on his way home.
The teacher was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre, Asaba, for treatment as he suffered a broken forehead.
It was learnt that policemen from the ‘A’ Division Police Station, Asaba, were immediately alerted and they arrested some students on the school premises.
Commenting on the incident, Victor Ojei, an activist and social commentator, said hard drugs had caused a lot of damage to some secondary students in the state.
“These kids now take all forms of hard drugs and get intoxicated and start fighting their teachers. They broke his forehead.”
