The Ogun State police command said it has arrested a student-teacher for allegedly injuring and causing an 11-year-old pupil to lose her right eye.
The victim, Alao Idera, is a primary six student of Owiwi Nursery and Primary School in the Obada Oko, area of the State.
It was reported that the teacher, Adeola Adeyemo, is a 400-level student of the OGUN state-owned Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijebu Ode, undergoing her teaching practice programme at the school.
Confirming the incident, the police public relations officer, Omolola Odutola, said Adeyemo was allegedly holding a cane in the classroom when the primary six pupils rushed toward her, with the cane accidentally piercing her right eye.
She stated that the pupil was rushed to the federal medical centre in Abeokuta, the state capital where the wounded eye was surgically removed.
