Lagos State Command of the Nigeria Police has arrested a kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Esther Akpan.
It was alleged that Mrs. Akpan, a teacher at God’s Grace And Mercy Private School, Lagos, was fond of stealing and eating the pupils’ meal while the kids starved.
The matter was reported to the school’s Proprietor by the Parents of the kids, who later teamed up with few others in making sure the culprit was caught red-handed.
Esther was however caught on camera while eating the pupils’ meal. She also came with two different plates with which she had turned their food into.
The suspect, however confessed to the crime saying, “I take most of the food and snacks of the kids home while I eat some in the school.”
“I promise not to repeat such anymore, it’s the devil’s handiwork”, she cried.
Commenting on the indecent act, the Proprietor of the school, Mr Patrick Osakwe, stated that, “I’ve never owed any worker salary. In fact, every Monday, I give each teacher one thousand naira (N1,000) which is not part of their salary. ”
“I pay them well and most of them go home with the school bus. I see no reason why she should have indulged herself in such mess,” he added.
