The suspect, Mrs Faith Nwoye, had earlier been invited by the Commissioner for Education, Prof Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, to explain what led to the brutalization of the child on Monday 20th May, 2024

She was invited alongside Mrs Promise Ilo, the proprietor of Landmark School Mgbakwu, the illegal school in which the incident happened.
