Dear Sir,
FACTS OF THE FIGHT IN THE DORMITORY.
The events that led to the fight in the dormitory in which Akin Adekunle. a JSS one student was beaten and injured on the eye started when senior Ayansola Kola asked him to fetch him water because the junior boy serving him had travelled. The fact is that Akin refused to obey the senior. After siesta. on the second day, senior Ayansola, with other senior students, asked the junior student to kneel down. Though he obeyed. he knelt down grudgingly. He was later released after kneeling down throughout the games period that day. Aside from kneeling down the junior student was instructed to fetch four buckets of water for senior Ayansola the following morning.
The boy refused to obey the instruction as Senior Ayansola waited in vain for him. When senior Ayansola met the disobedient Akin in the school on the day of the incident, he asked him to report for punishment after the school hours. In fact, he refused to obey again and this made Senior Ayansola s classmates to determine to deal squarely with him.
In the afternoon, as usual after siesta, the junior student was called and when he was asked to kneel down, he disobeyed. It was his flagrant disobedience that made the senior students to beat him with their belts. It was during the flogging that the buckle of one of the belts hit him on his right eye.
Sir, this was what actually happened. I would appreciate it if you could reverse your earlier decision to expel us from the boarding house.
Yours faithfully.
