Kobby Akpaka Fiadzigbe, Father of the assaulted Obrachire student, has cried out that his son has been psychologically traumatised following the violent attack he suffered.
According to the father, the family is currently focused on addressing his son’s physical injuries, specifically dental treatment resulting from the assault.
He further disclosed that the family will be seeking professional psychological help, but financial constraints have delayed that step.
Kobby Akpaka Fiadzigbe further added that despite the incident, he has no intention of withdrawing his son from school.
According to him, the attack was carried out by students from a different school and not his son’s institution, which informed his decision to allow his son to return to class once he is healed and ready.
Speaking in an interview on JoyNews, Kobby Akpaka Fiadzigbe stated, “My son is psychologically traumatised. Physically, he has been tortured. I am currently covering the cost of his dental treatment, and when he stabilises, I will look for a psychologist”.
“Education is the lifeblood of everybody. Despite the incident, I cannot truncate his education,” he stated.
“For now, he has to go back to the school because it is not the same school that attacked him. It was a different school,” he explained.
“Seeing a psychologist is another concern. I haven’t made up my mind yet because I am now taking care of his teeth. When he stabilises, then I will look for a psychologist. That also involves money,” he said.
