“The unfortunate incident unfolded after some students allegedly stole and consumed palm wine from an elderly man, prompting the man to report the issue to the school authority.

“Tragically, Mr. Ufah collapsed and passed away shortly before reaching the Central Hospital in Agbor. The father is currently in police custody, as confirmed by Delta ASUSS.”
