Some Senior Secondary Students (SSS) of the elite Edo College, Benin City, Edo State (names withheld) have been suspended for mercilessly brutalizing co-senior secondary student of the same school.
In a viral online video, the senior students were seen severely whipping the helpless student with belts after which they came down heavily on him with blows and side kicks.
In the video, the junior who was naked and on his knees, bleeding, passionately pleading for mercy from his assailants who were apparently unmoved as they continued with the brutality.
With dirt all over his body, the victim who was covered in blood, writhed in pains as the senior students who did not betray any emotions continued with the whipping, kicking and cursing.
Speaking on his mobile phone, the principal, Mr. Peter Edomwonyi disclosed that the beastly students that were involved in the merciless acts have been indentified, noting that the Ministry of Education has placed them all on indefinite suspension pending the outcome of investigations.
Edomwonyi explained that, in the course of investigations by officials from the ministry, they will ascertain whether the assault was cult related or not.
He said: "I am presently at the Ministry of Education over the matter. It's true that some senior students brutalized a co-senior secondary student. The ministry is looking into it but, in the meantime, the erring students have been placed on indefinite suspension. The panel has been mandated to ascertain whether the beating was secret cult related or not."
