In a statement issued by a group of concerned educators, the late teacher was described as “a dedicated and disciplined professional whose life was cut short in the line of duty.”
“With deep pain and righteous indignation, we mourn the tragic and avoidable death of Mr Fatai Adegoke, a teacher who was attacked by his own students while trying to stop them from gambling during school hours. This horrifying act is not just an assault on one man, it is an attack on the entire teaching profession,” the statement read.
The group called on the Nigeria Union of Teachers, NUT, the Teaching Service Commission, TESCOM, and law enforcement authorities to ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.
They also urged that parents of the culprits be held accountable for failing to instill discipline in their wards.
Describing the incident as a reflection of moral decline within schools and homes, the educators emphasized the urgent need for stronger safety measures, moral education, and disciplinary enforcement in Nigeria’s public schools.
Efforts to reach the Oyo State Police Public Relations Officer, Adewale Osifeso, for official confirmation were unsuccessful at the time of filing this report.
