A 14-year-old girl from Ikot Ewa Secondary School Calabar was arrested by the Nigerian Army for attempting to murder her teacher with a cut-to-size double-barrel gun.
The girl’s motive was revenge against her teacher, who had enforced the school’s grooming policy by making her cut her dyed hair.
Apparently, the girl felt humiliated by the teacher’s actions and decided to take drastic measures. Fortunately, she was arrested before she could carry out the attack.
This incident highlights the alarming trend of violence among young students in Nigeria and raises concerns about the accessibility of firearms to minors.
The fact that a teenager could obtain a deadly weapon is particularly disturbing, and this incident has sparked widespread concern about student violence and the need for stricter gun control measures in Nigeria.
