Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori has condemned the activities leading to the death of a school teacher, Mr Sunday Ufah, reportedly at the hands of a parent who allegedly flogged him (teacher) for disciplining his errant son.

Ufah, until his untimely death, was a teacher at Alihami Secondary School in Agbor, Ika South Local Government Area of the state.
