12 Years old Boy Expel For Putting Acid In Classmate’s Water Bottle

A 12-year-old pupil of the Lekki British International School, Lekki, Lagos , has been expelled for allegedly attempting to kill his female classmate by putting acid inside her water bottle.

According to reports, the young boy who is a Junior Secondary School 1 pupil was envious of the 11-year-old female classmate, who had beaten him to the first position in the first and second terms.

In order to remove his competitor out of the way, as the school was planning for the third term exam, stole a vial of sulphuric acid and ethanol from the lab, mixed the two chemicals together and poured them into his female classmate’s water bottle.

However, two pupils of the school caught him in the act and reported to the school management.

The suspect allegedly owned up to the crime, saying he had been planning it for some time. It was gathered that the boy had planned to put faeces in the girl’s juice bottle before he decided to put the chemicals.

Although the girl’s mother had asked the school to expel the child in case he has plans to hurt others, a member of the 11-year-old’s family said on Wednesday that despite the culprit’s confession, the school allowed him to sit for the third term examination.
