Ms Chuma-Udeh condemned the act, describing it as an attempt to “sell the psyche of the children to the highest bidder from the cradle.”

According to her, such practices are unacceptable under the administration of Governor Chukwuma Soludo.

She said an investigation was ongoing to examine the school’s broader management practices, with the possibility of further actions based on the findings.
