A junior secondary school 1 pupil of Lekki British International
School, Lekki, Lagos has been expelled for allegedly putting sulphuric acid and
ethanol in the water bottle of his classmate!
The 12-year old is reported to have carried out the shocking act
because he was furious that his 11-year old female classmate had beaten him to
the first position in their first and second term examinations.
The incident happened around 1.30pm on Wednesday, June 4, but has only
just come to light.
The school was planning for the third term examinations when the
12-year old allegedly sneaked into the school’s laboratory and stole the acid
and ethanol.
He was said to have mixed the chemicals and poured them into the
11-year old’s water bottle.
Danger was averted when two pupils of the school reportedly caught him in the act and reported
to the school authorities. He allegedly owned up to his act, saying that he had
been planning it for some time.
A member of the 11-year old’s family said on Wednesday that despite the
cuprit’s confession, the school allowed him to sit for the third term
examinations.
