Student arrested for stabbing classmate in the head, claims to be a vampire (PICTURED)
Students and staff of a Lagos secondary school were thrown into confusion yesterday when a male student stabbed another.
Laolu Ladipo, a JS3 student, waited till the end of the school day and waylaid his classmate stabbing him on his head.
The incident occurred at the Best Steve College on Olaniyi Street in the New Oko Oba area of Lagos yesterday afternoon.
Eagle Online reports:
It was gathered by The Eagle Online’s correspondent, Muhsin Hassan, that Ladipo, after stabbing his colleague, attempted walking away.
However, he was stopped from escaping by passersby who had recovered from the shock of the development.
According to information gathered by The Eagle Online, Ladipo had been expelled from four other schools, with Best Steve College as his fifth secondary school.
His classmates confirmed that he brings different types of knives to school.
Another student also said that Ladipo had been saying for a while before the incident that he wanted to drink blood.
He claims to be a vampire who is thirsty for blood. Teachers of the school also described him as “a very stubborn and troublesome lad”.
When Ladipo’s mother and elder brother arrived at the scene of the incident, they descended on one of the teachers of Best Steve College, accusing her of attacking their son and brother during the incident.
The mother was bent on not allowing the police officer present at the time of the incident take the boy away. She said the police must produce a warrant of arrest before taking her son away.
She said the incident would be settled amicably without the involvement of the police. It took the intervention of another police officer before Ladipo could be taken to New Oko-Oba Police Station.
The stabbed student was rushed to a nearby hospital.
