    Police authorities in Rivers State have arrested the principal of Christ Ambassadors Mission International School, located at Eagle Island in Port Harcourt, over the alleged torture of a 14-year-old female student with a hot pressing iron.

    The school principal, identified as Mrs. Mirabel Wobo, was apprehended alongside a teacher and the victim’s aunt following disturbing reports that the student sustained severe burns after being accused of stealing N30,000.

    Spokesperson for the Rivers State Police Command, SP Grace Iringe-Koko, confirmed the arrests on Friday, stating that investigations are ongoing to ensure justice is served.

    According to Iringe-Koko, concerned residents of Amazing Grace Junction, where the school is situated, raised the alarm after noticing the girl with visible signs of burn injuries on Tuesday.

    “Upon interrogation, the victim disclosed that she was burned with a hot pressing iron by the school principal and a teacher after her aunt alleged she had stolen N30,000—a claim she repeatedly denied,” the police spokesperson said.

    Eyewitnesses reported that the aunt was seen leaving the school compound shortly after the incident and was confronted by residents who then alerted the local police.

    Human rights activist and National Coordinator of the Centre for Basic Rights Protection and Accountability Campaign, Prince Wiro, condemned the incident, describing it as a grave case of “man’s inhumanity to man.”

    Wiro, who responded to a distress call, said he met a tense situation at the school with a crowd threatening to attack the aunt before police arrived to restore order.

    “At the police station, the girl confirmed that she was tortured with a pressing iron by the principal and a teacher, who demanded she confess to stealing,” Wiro said.

    He called for a thorough and transparent investigation and urged authorities to prosecute anyone found culpable to the fullest extent of the law.

    The incident has sparked outrage across Port Harcourt, with rights groups and residents demanding accountability from the school and relatives involved.

    As of the time of this report, the student is receiving medical treatment for her injuries at an undisclosed hospital.
