Special Assistant to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa on Special Duties, Ossai Ovie Success, disclosed this via a Facebook post on Sunday.
He said: “We just closed the school in Asaba where that young boy was flogged to death.”
“The Delta State Government will always protect lives and property of everyone living in Delta State.
“When I said we will make sure justice is done, some of you said Ossai Ovie Success has come again. Now you can see the action we have taken as a government.
“We have also arrested the proprietress of the school and her son who was involved in the alleged crime and investigation is still ongoing.”
According to the post, “the Commissioner for Primary Education, Hon Chika Ossai, through the Permanent Secretary led the team that sealed the school’s premises located at Camp 74 in Asaba, Oshimili South Local Government Area.”
