Secondary School Student Killed Prefect for Punishing Him for Coming Late to School, Arrested.

A 19 year old student of Gaskia College, Amukoko, Lagos,

Saka Hammed, who allegedly stabbed the school’s Labour

prefect, Saheed Jimoh, to death on Wednesday for punishing

him over being late to school, has been arrested by police.

He was allegedly arrested by policemen attached to

Amukoko Division, sometime around 6.40p.m. yesterday.

According to Vanguard, when they visited Gaskia College

yesterday, normal school activities had resumed as students

were seen in their respective classes receiving lectures.

Officials from the office of Educational Quality Assurance,

Zone 14, were also seen in the school, compiling reports of

the incident.

A man who identified himself as the Vice Principal said he

couldn’t talk to reporters.

However, a student, who spoke on condition of anonymity,

said:

“There are several cult factions in the school. It is an open

secret that many students are involved in cult-related

activities and the use of charms.

“One of the common charms used by some of the

students is called ‘no touch blood’ , which is a very

poisonous charm that kills instantly when it comes in

contact with blood.

“Perhaps, in the case of Saheed, his killer could have tried

to test the potency of the charm.”

Another senior student of the school revealed that that

Hammed only resumed for the term on Monday. He said

Hammed had failed woefully and was supposed to repeat

SSS 2. He said he used to be in the same class as the

deceased when they were in SS2 but the deaceased passed

and was promoted to SSS 3. But he stopped coming to

school.

He said:

“On Monday, his father brought him to school to see the

principal. Only for the incident to occur on Wednesday.”
