According to Vanguard:

How he received the beatings of his life:
"It was around 1p.m on Friday, October 24, 2014, that I was assigned by school authorities to distribute learning furniture to other schools. On going back to my office in Block 5, after I finished, I discovered that lectures were ongoing, in all the four classrooms, except the one close to my office.
"On entering the classroom, I met a group of students there. I asked them what they were doing but they didn't answer me. I said are you in my school? If you are in my school, go to the class. If you are not in my school, go to your school. I don't want to see any student disturbing when lecture is going on in the class.
"At this point, one of them came close to me and steering at me in the eyes. I said to him, are you mad? I asked you to go to your classroom and you are coming to me. He came closer and wanted to chest me. I said, definitely you must be a tout.
"When I got angry and held on to his trousers in order to take him out for punishment, his friends pounced on me and started twisting my hands. They pushed me to the wall, dragged me on the floor.

"However, it was when some students who saw the unfortunate incident, ran to call other teachers, we apprehended two of them, while the others ran away and began to throw stones at us."
Speaking further, the teacher said: "It has been hell for teachers in Osun State, since schools were merged and students began using the same uniform. Before the reclassification programme, the situation was under control, but now, if we call a student to do something, he or she will just walk away saying I am not in your school,"
According to reports, Samuel was still unable to move his hands, as he was said to be recieving medical attention.
However, three of the bad students who allegedly dealt with their teacher have been charged to court, others were charged to juvenile court, as they were not yet 18 years, thus their exclusion from the charge sheet. This is even as their ring-leader known as Rado is still at large. The police prosecutor, Mr. Isiaka Ajadi, said efforts are on to arrest Rado
