Based on a source the student, Abigail passed-out along the way and commotion started afterwards.
She regained consciousness minutes later when some packs of sachet water were poured on her behalf by her classmates and her frightened teacher who initially thought she was pretending.
The situation was said to own been reported at Iponri Police Station by the girl's parents while Sebastine was arrested the following day.
The school Principal, Mrs Anyah prevented the authorities from taking the teacher away once they attained the school to effect his arrest.
The teacher and Principal were unavailable for comments as the Vice Principal of the school denied knowledge of the incident.
On Thursday, the principal was around but denied that the incident happened in the school. “Well, as a civil servant, am not obliged to talk to the media. Besides, I don't know what you are talking about. No teacher beats a student to stupor here,” Mrs. Anyah said.
A student who not need his name mentioned and who claimed to be Abigail's friend, said,”I'm not in her class and wasn't in school when it happened. But I heard the story. I asked her and she explained what happened.
