The governor: “While I condole with the bereaved family and teachers across the state on the unfortunate and untimely passing of their father, son, brother and colleague, I have directed the State Police Command to investigate the allegations against the parent and the student with a view to ensuring justice is served on the matter.

“As a state government, we frown seriously at parents going to bully teachers for genuinely meting out disciplinary measures against students for bad behaviour such as is alleged in the extant case.

“On behalf of the government and people of Delta, I commiserate with the Ufua family and teachers across the state on the untimely and unfortunate demise of their father and colleague.

“As a state, we will never tolerate actions like this in our schools.”

Meanwhile, not a few concerned Nigerians have deplored the risen cases of attacks on school teachers by parents. Teachers must be protected at all costs by the government against violent parents who take the law into their own hands whenever their children complain to them that they were disciplined by their teachers due to one form of unruly behavior or the other.
