According to news that went viral, the child is a JSS2 student and was sent home to go and “campaign for Peter Obi against the wish of Lagos state.”

The incident reportedly occurred at Odomola Junior Secondary School in the Epe area of the state. A slip had gone viral on social media showing sanction by the school’s principal.

Mrs Folasade Adefisayo, the Commissioner for Education, who announced the measure on Wednesday, said the governor had approved the recall of the principal, who would be asked to explain the incident.

“The Lagos State Government, the Ministry of Education and all its agencies will never instruct any school principal, personnel or teacher to act in such a manner. The matter would be dealt with within the scope of our strict regulations as the reason for sending home the student is unacceptable – if true. “, She noted.
