MR Chucks David and his wife, Amaka David, have landed in trouble for allegedly beating up three school teachers who corrected their child for being late to a school premise in Lagos State.
According to media reports, the incident happened at Shalom Heritage School, Abiodun Mohammed Street, in the Powerline area of Idimu. The two were alleged to have gone to the school in the morning at about 8.30 am and disrupted activities in the school by attacking the victims, Gbenga Samuel and two other teachers, for allegedly beating their child for coming late to school.
After their child told them that the teachers punished him for coming late to school, they arrived at the school, without questioning, grabbed the teachers, and attacked them by hitting their faces with fist blows before they were later rescued from them.
The matter was then reported to the Police, after which the duo were arrested and detained at the station for interrogation over their conduct. While being interrogated by the Police, they reportedly told the officers that the teachers beat their child and they were not comfortable with it.
The Police found them culpable and subsequently charged them before the Ejigbo Magistrates Court for conspiracy and assault, which attracts several years of imprisonment if they are tried and found guilty before the Court. They however pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The prosecutor, Inspector Simeon Njue, then asked the Court to give a date for the hearing since they pleaded not guilty to enable the Police to prove that they committed the alleged offence.
Presiding Magistrate, Mrs A.K. Dosumu, granted them bail in the sum of #200,000 with two sureties in like sum.
They were remanded at the Correctional Centre pending when they will perfect their bail conditions, while the matter was adjourned till November 14, 2022, for mention.
