Two deaths, one blind eye, one imprisonment: child abuse in the guise of corporal punishment in Nigerian schools.
An examination of reported cases of child abuse in Nigerian schools was carried out against the backdrop of the legal framework for the protection of pupils. The objective was to highlight the deficiency in Nigerian law on child protection in the light of UN Conventions which Nigeria has ratified.
