Mazebouag Public School in the East Region of Cameroon has been rocked by tragedy and violence following the death of a child and a vicious attack on the school director.
The incident unfolded when a parent, identified as Yekini, son of the village chief, allegedly assaulted Mr. Bruce Mengom, the school’s director, with a machete, before setting fire to the school buildings and fleeing the scene.
The parent’s actions were reportedly fueled by a desire for revenge following the drowning of his child, a student at the school.
However, sources have revealed that the tragic drowning occurred when the child ventured alone into a nearby marsh, unbeknown to the school director.
Mr. Mengom, who sustained head injuries in the assault, is currently receiving medical treatment.
