A teacher from Nyamira who was physically assaulted by his school’s headteacher while in class has narrated the sad incident that left him hospitalised.
Vincent Onyancha, the victim of the brutal attack, had just arrived at the primary school a little late and went straight to class but the headteacher followed him and began hitting him.
“On Friday, February 21, I reported to work at the school a bit late. Once I arrived, I went to class and started teaching. When I was teaching, the principal came in and started beating me up. He slapped me and beat me so hard,” expressed Onyancha.
“Afterwards, he dragged me into his office where he brought me to the ground, striking blows and kicking me. I got serious injuries and had to be taken to hospital and got admitted,” he added.
The injuries sustained by Onyancha left the teacher with a partially destroyed left eardrum, injuries to his groin area, and other bodily injuries.
The teacher at Nyanchoka Primary School called upon the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), KUPPET, and other human rights agencies to intervene and take action against the headteacher.
“I would like the TSC, KUPPET, and other human rights agencies to intervene and take action towards this issue,” Onyancha remarked.
The headteacher accused of the assault has yet to publicly respond to the accusations leveled against him.
