Teacher Allegedly Assaults Corps Member Over Greeting Incident at Secondary School

Drama ensued at a secondary school when a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member was allegedly assaulted by a teacher for reportedly not greeting properly. The incident occurred when the corps member visited her Place of Primary Assignment (PPA) to collect her clearance letter, a routine requirement for NYSC participants.

According to reports circulating on X (formerly Twitter), the altercation escalated into a physical confrontation, leaving the corps member with torn clothing. Eyewitnesses claim the issue began when the teacher felt disrespected by what was considered an improper greeting.

Photos of the corps member, visibly shaken with damaged clothing, have gone viral, sparking outrage on social media. Many users condemned the teacher's actions, calling for an investigation and disciplinary measures, while others debated the broader issue of respect and hierarchy in schools.

The NYSC is yet to release an official statement on the incident, but the growing public attention has led to calls for justice and better treatment of corps members during their service year.
