The teacher who saw some students outside the classroom during prep hours approached them to find out why they were not learning as required at the time. Mr. Innocent Agblorti who was on duty decided to get closer to them when he realized those outside in the dark were both male and female students.
Upon getting closer, he turned his unwelcome visit into a time of counseling and enlightened the students on their academic prospects if they take the pieces of advice from him and other teachers. However, his advice was met with a negative reaction from the students who picked stones and threw them at him. The stones landed on the teacher’s head and back leading to him bleeding profusely from the head. He also suffered an instant blackout.
