Police Arrest Five Over Attack On Vice Principal Who Seized Student’s Phone During WAEC Exam In Ondo

The Ondo State Police Command has arrested five individuals in connection with the assault on Mr. Alexandra Rotifa, the Vice Principal of Complete Child Development Centre in Akure.
Rotifa was reportedly attacked after he prevented a student from cheating during the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) by confiscating the student’s phone. The incident reportedly led to retaliation from the student’s family.
Among those arrested is the student’s mother, Mrs. Dorcas Asije, who allegedly hired thugs to carry out the assault on the school official.
Confirming the arrests, the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Olayinka Ayanlade, said a preliminary investigation linked all five suspects to the attack.
“Following the assault on the Vice Principal of Complete Child Development Centre Akure, the Ondo State Police Command has arrested Mrs. Dorcas Asije and four other accomplices,” Ayanlade stated.
He added that, acting on the orders of the Commissioner of Police, CP Wilfred Olutokunbo Afolabi, a tactical team led by the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Operations) swiftly apprehended the suspects.
The case has now been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) and will be charged to court upon completion of the investigation.
The police also advised members of the public to remain law-abiding and promptly report any suspicious activities to the nearest police station.
