According to the school officials, yesterday Sunday,
the students were out for sports and the form five student, Ojong realized the
deceased student was putting on his short, when he asked the lower sixth
student to give it back, he refused claiming he will only give it back when
deemed necessary.
This led to a fight which was later separated by the
dormitory captain. The deceased student later realized that what he did was not
correct and decided to walk up to the form five student to ask for forgiveness.
The Form five student thought he was still coming to
attack him and since they were just from the refectory and still with their
cutleries, he took his knife and stabbed Bryan Ebenson on the stomach.
Bryan Ebenson was rushed to the Mount Marie Hospital
in Buea, chief town of the Southwest Region where he gave up the ghost.
Ojong, the assailant and the deceased, Bryan Ebenson
it is alleged are both orphans and hail from Kumba in the Meme division of the
Southwest Region.
Investigations have been opened into the matter by
local law enforcement officers while the alleged assailant is currently under
police custody.
According to the State radio, people were very surprised;
some think it is an isolated case while others think it is a pointer to the
fact that there is something wrong with the discipline of the school.
However, Father Peter Nuck, principal of the school
made it clear that discipline was tight.
