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.
