According to reports, the student, Joshua Joseph, has previously been barred from accessing the class due to his hairdo.

Mr. Kabir Azeez, a teacher, had instructed the student to trim his hair before entering the classroom.

But, Joshua was said to have returned to the school with his mum and a thug, who attacked the teachers.

A reliable source told our correspondent, “Three teachers were beaten – Messrs Abel Thomas, Kabir Azeez and Adegun Adekunle. The car that was destroyed belongs to Mr Jolayemi Jeromu. One of the thugs, Posu Baale, was the one who smashed the car’s windscreen.”

Confirming the incident, the Vice Principal, Mrs Mariam Onilogbo said, “On Monday, we asked our student to go and cut his hair because the hair he brought to school was not acceptable in the school. Yesterday, he came again with that same hair, we told him to go and cut the hair. I collected his bag and told him to come back after cutting the hair. Coming back to school, he came with two men and two women to accuse us that why should we ask him to go and cut his hair.

“I know told them that if we cannot tell him to cut his hair, all of them should leave my office. I gave them his bag and told them to go and be teaching him at home. They went out and I started to hear noises within the school premises. They started beating the teachers. They smashed the windscreen of a car parked within the school.

“Yesterday evening, they came to our quarters again, claiming that we stole their phone. They almost attacked us. We told them their phone is not with us. They came to meet us again this morning, but we thank God no one was attacked.”

The mother and one of the goons have been arrested, according to the Vice Principal.

The teachers allegedly invited the cops after shutting the apprehended thugs in the computer room.

The development comes just two weeks after parents signed consent forms before their children were allowed back into their classes when primary and secondary school students returned for the second semester of the 2021/2022 academic year.

In light of the heinous assault on teachers by kids across the state, the state government required all parents and guardians to sign an agreement.

More than four instructors were beaten by their students in the last quarter of 2021, in some cases in collusion with hoodlums, a development that drew concern from state stakeholders./p>

To combat the trend, the government mandated that parents sign an undertaking declaring their children's fitness for good behavior and nonviolent behavior at school.

It was obtained a copy of the undertaking form signed by the suspect’s father, Joshua Sunday Suuru, declaring that the son would be “well behaved and not engage in any act of violence/misdemeanour that can disrupt the smooth running of the school in any form whatsoever.”

On the duly-signed undertaking form, passport-size pictures of both the student and the parent were attached.
