Vero Igbigwe, the headmistress of little Success Adegor of Okotie-Eboh Primary School 1 in Sapele, has been suspended by the Delta state government.
She was suspended on Monday, March 18, when the Delta state commissioner for education, Barrister Chiedu Ebie, paid a visit to the school, The Nation reports.
According to the commissioner, Igigwe was unable to explain the alleged illegal collection of examination levies from the pupils.
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Success was sent home from school for not paying her school fees and she complained at the punishment.
Success even revealed that she would rather be flogged instead of being sent home. Since the video went viral on Instagram, a number of Nigerians have reacted in various ways.
Many people found the girl’s action funny while others were saddened that she would be denied an education over her parent’s inability to pay her fees.
