The student said to be a granddaughter of the Benin Monarch, Oba Erediauwa, was alleged to have been injured on the hand while being flogged by the teacher.
It was gathered that the suspected hoodlums invaded the school premises on Monday and started beating up some teachers over alleged flogging of the student.
It was said that the thugs who were allegedly led by Tony forced the way into the school compound and demanded that the teacher who flogged the Oba’s grand daughter be produced and when this was not done, they attacked the teachers including one of the vice-principals. State Chairman of TUC, Comrade Joe Aligbe who confirmed the invasion by the thugs, said they were armed and threatened to return if the teacher was not produced.
“Our members are now afraid. We are here to appeal to them for calm. The principal is not aware. I know the Benin monarch will not approve of this action,” he said. The Vice Principal, Special Duties, Mr. Ihiridan Harga, said the school’s management team are new and were not aware of the flogging of a Benin Princess, adding “the alleged offence was committed before we resumed here.
We were not aware of the flogging. The intruders were many and they were led by two chiefs.

I dont support this flogging,it's not the best way of correction
Spare the rod&spoil the child
What example is this so called Oba displaying
What a shame,at that age pamper all d way
Rubbish,the Oba,might as well give her private teachers so she does not have to come to sch. bunch of losers
See the kind of example they are teaching young people,bringing thuggs to beat up a teacher for disciplining a wayward child
Shame on our educational sys
For letting the thuggs into the premises was a wrong move
Princess my ass,the teacher shld file for compliants to the police so whatever happens to her we know the oba has a hand in it.
