Staff of the Federal Government Girls College, Calabar on Tuesday
took to the streets to protesting after they were allegedly flogged and
brutalized by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS).
The teachers alleged that the DSS officials stormed the school on
February 2 and manhandled them. It was alleged that a DSS staff, an aunt
of a student who was flogged by a teacher, led the assault.
Some placards they carried read, “We need justice no Nigerian
factor,” “Teachers are agents of development, DSS be warned”, “We need
justice, perpetrators must be brought to book”, “Sting Operation not for
teachers,” and “DSS stop the molestation of innocent teachers”.
They marched from the school premises along Goodluck Jonathan
Bypass to the Cross River State House of Assembly and the Governor’s
Office where they dropped letters to register their grievance.
The state Chairman of the union, Ogunyemi Akinwunmi, also a teacher
in the school, said they were protesting to ensure that the
perpetrators of the alleged act are brought to book
“As a union we have written a petition and as a body sent a
message to our national headquarters in Lagos. The union is not taking
this lightly. Our slogan is injury to one is injury to all. If we don’t
tackle this now, we don’t know where it would happen next. We want the
world to know what happened here. It would not be swept under the
carpet. Even though the Ministry is doing something, the union cannot
just sit down,” he said.
The state Chairman of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Clarkson Otu,
who also participated in the protest said, “We need justice and
perpetrators have to be brought to book. Those who took the laws into
their hands must be punished. We are doing this peacefully because we
are peace-loving Nigerians.”
At the House of Assembly, the Speaker, Mr. John Gaul Lebo, who was represented by the Clerk of the House, said “We were all trained by teachers. Teachers should also get their reward on earth. We would ensure that justice is done.”
A Director in the office of the State Security Adviser, Mr. Etam
Eno, who received the protesters promised to convey the message to the
governor.
