Dear Sir,
AN ACCOUNT OF THE SCHOOL FIGHT
I am Ayokunnumi Oladipo, final year student of the school. I am writing to give an account of the recent school fight and also to prove Damola Oyebade's innocence to the school authorities.
It all started out as an argument in our class Senior Secondary School three Emerald. A boy named Bassey Ntoyo had eariier been flogged by Mr. Bright, the Biology teacher for failing his test. An argument ensued in class about Mr. Bright's partiality in awarding marks in his tests. Bassey accused Damola of not deserving the mark he got, this made Damola respond angrily to the accusation. They began to insult each other and Bassey slapped Damola first while the latter retaliated. It soon became a free for all fight when their friends waded in.
When l discovered that the situation was becoming uncontrollable. I alerted our class teacher Miss Dumebi. She tried to put an end to the fight but they did not pay attention to her. She immediately left the class to get the Vice-principal to intervene but before she got back, Bassey had stabbed one of Damola's friends Ogojesu. The fight came to an abrupt end when Ogojesu started bleeding. He was rushed to the school clinic and was latter taken to the hospital in the town.
The Vice Principal and Miss Dumebi alerted the school management. Damola and Bassey were both expelled without proper hearing. Sir, I am pleading on behalf of Damola because everyone knows him to be highly intelligent and respectful. These character traits earned him the position of the school's Chaplain Prefect. He was wrongly accused by Bassey and only retaliated by slapping Bassey back. Bassey is a known bully and has never been serious with his academics. He has once been suspended and now expelled for possession of weapons.
I hope that this report would be enough proof of Damola's innocence in the fight. He has never been found in such situation and was only provoked by Bassey. I hope that with this, Damola would be recalled and reinstated as the school's Chaplain Prefect. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Yours faithfully,
Ayo Obakpe
