A tragic incident has thrown the city of Ogbomoso, Oyo State, into mourning after a secondary school teacher was beaten to death by his students.

The teacher, identified as Mr. Adekunle, was reportedly attacked by a group of students at Soun High School after he attempted to stop them from gambling during school hours. Witnesses said the confrontation escalated when the students turned violent, hitting the teacher with sticks and other objects.

Mr. Adekunle sustained severe injuries and was rushed to a nearby hospital but sadly died from internal bleeding and multiple fractures.
