A Nigerian school teacher was beaten to death by one of his students on Thursday, Dec. 2, authorities said.

The victim, Ezeugo Joseph, a teacher at the Erimu School in Abraka, Delta State, collapsed and died after he was brutally beaten by the suspect, identified as Micahel Ogbeise, an SS3 student at the school.

The spokesperson of the state police command, DSP Bright Edafe, said Ogbeise attacked the teacher for flogging his younger sister, Promise.

On the day of the incident, the suspect confronted the teacher for whipping his sister. A heated argument broke out between the duo which escalated to the fatal incident.

During the confrontation, the enraged suspect landed several blows on the victim, dropping him unconscious.

Emergency services rushed the injured teacher to a local hospital, where he died during treatment, authorities said.
