The late Boluwatife Omelaja
The late Boluwatife Omelaja who is a student of Elihans College, Ikorodu, Lagos State, died on the 26th of November, 2020 after his teacher flogged him. His corpse was reportedly driven home in the school bus.

Mr Emmanuel
The family of the dead boy, not knowing the true state of things, buried him instantly as according to Muslim burial rites. It was after he was buried that the other students of the school came and narrated the true story.
However, by the time the family of young Boluwatife knew the true story, the teacher who is responsible for his death had fled. According to Boluwatife’s brother who called for justice for his brother, the administration of the school have refused to provide Mr Emmanuel.
