Anambra Teacher Turns Herself In After Boy Dies Following Alleged Beating

A teacher accused of flogging a 12-year-old pupil to death in Anambra State has surrendered to the police.

The suspect, Mrs. Dim Ebere, 47, voluntarily reported to the Neni Police Station in Anaocha Local Government Area after police launched a search operation following the boy’s death.

The incident reportedly occurred at a school in Adazi-Enu, where the child allegedly sustained fatal injuries during a flogging.

The Anambra State Police Command confirmed the development in a statement issued on Saturday by its spokesperson, SP Tochukwu Ikenga.

He said the suspect turned herself in after sustained efforts by the command’s Safe School Protection Squad, working alongside officers from the Neni Divisional Police Headquarters and local community leaders.

According to the police, Mrs. Ebere is currently in custody and will be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Awka for further investigation.

The command commended the cooperation of the Adazi-Ani community, traditional rulers, and other stakeholders whose support helped secure the suspect’s surrender.

Police assured the family of the deceased and the public that justice would be pursued and urged residents to remain calm, avoid taking the law into their own hands, and continue providing useful information to aid ongoing investigations.
