A teacher has been sentenced to 21 years in jail for beating a nine-year-old pupil to death at Landmark International School.
The teacher, Faith Nwoye, was jailed in Anambra State, Nigeria, to serve as a deterrence to others.
She was convicted by a special court handling women and children-related matters in Awka, the Anambra State capital.
It would be recalled that she mercilessly beat the pupil whose name was given as Henry Okonkwo, leading to severe injuries.
Little Henry Okonwo was rushed to the Intensive Care Unit of a hospital in Awka, where he unfortunately succumbed to his injuries after falling into a coma.
The case drew significant public outrage, highlighting concerns over child abuse and the necessity for stringent regulations in educational institutions.
Following a thorough investigation, Nwoye was charged with manslaughter and subsequently found guilty by the special court.
