9-year-old boy brutally wounded as teacher flogs him 107 times while he's pinned down (photos)

 The police in Kenya’s Nyamira county has launched an investigation into the flogging of a 9-year-old primary school pupil by his teacher, which left him brutally injured.

A News outlet, Nation Kenya identified the victim as Titus Ondari Omwenga who is said to be schooling at Riang’ombe Primary School.

It is reported that the little boy’s injuries sustained from last Sunday’s assault were so severe that his teachers conspired to cover up the incident by keeping him in the dorm and denying him medical attention.

“I received a telephone call yesterday after work. At around 7 pm, my brother informed me from Nairobi that he had information that his son had been injured in school and asked me to go and verify the report,” he said.

“We took the boy to Nyamira hospital and after we undressed him, we noticed the injuries were very severe to an extent that a huge tissue had been cut out of his buttocks as a result of the injuries,” the victim’s uncle is quoted to have said.

It is reported that the incident has got many Kenyans angry and some social media users under the hashtag Justice for Grade 4 Pupil have demanded the arrest and prosecution of the teacher.

Corporal punishment is prohibited in Kenyan educational settings.
