“The students were dissatisfied with disciplinary measures taken by a female teacher in the school against some students during an English Language class,” he said.

Nwabuzor stated that the Edo State Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Dankwara, had assured the public, particularly parents and guardians of students at the school that there was no cause for alarm as normalcy had been restored to the school.

The police spokesperson added that Dankwara had directed the Divisional Police Officer, Aduwawa Division, to transfer the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Benin, on conclusion of preliminary investigation for further investigation.
