Joseph Omoniyi
The Principal-General of Government Technical College, Abak, Akwa Ibom State, Mr Friday Udoka, has made a public apology to the National Youth Service Corp, NYSC state office yesterday in Uyo, for canning a female corps member, Miss Olaitan Adeola Kolawole.
Udoka said he did not deliberately flog the corps member, noting that he used the cane on her out of anger.
The victim was said to have written the name of her friend, Dolapo Victoria in the attendance register of the school on Friday, October 19, 2018, when Dolapo was absent.
The principal however denied dragging the corps member outside.
“No man is perfect, I have not beaten a corps member before. I am very sorry for using a cane on a corper. Adeola, I am very sorry for what happened.
“When I went back home, I felt bad for beating a woman. It is not true that I dragged the corper out of my office and flogged her before the students. This is a man that behaves like a father, but I don’t know what happened that I behaved rudely with you. Please forgive me.
“The mistake will not repeat itself. Whatever is the cost of your treatment, I will bear the cost,” he said.
In her response, Miss Kolawole stated that she has accepted his apology.
My parents wanted to take up the matter, but I will talk to them not to pursue the case as they wanted”.
