A 13 Year old secondary school student, Godfred Ankomah has lost his life after alleged corporal punishment from his class teacher.
The incident happened in Western North region of Ghana according to reports available to IgbereTV.
The teacher had warned her students that she would cane them depending on how many mistakes they made on the assignment she had given them.
Godfred Ankomah, a Form 2 student, had a lot of mistakes in his assignment and the teacher decided to punish him severely.
Although he informed her that he wasn’t feeling well, the teacher ignored his plea and still flogged him mercilessly, allegedly leading to his death.
The female teacher made Godfred kneel before dishing out the corporal punishment. The boy begged the teacher to refrain from lashing him in the back but it was in vain because Madam Millicent repeatedly caned him on his back until he died a few hours later.
The sad news has caused an uproar on social media.
