Ufua was a teacher at the Alihami Secondary School in Agbor, Ika South Local Government Area of the state.
The PUNCH reports Ufah was allegedly attacked by a pupil’s father simply identified as Uweke on Wednesday, leading to his death.
Oborevwori, in a condolence message signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Festus Ahon, cautioned parents and guardians not to take illegal actions against teachers for correcting their erring children and wards.
“I have been briefed on the death of hardworking school teacher of Alihami Secondary School, Agbor, allegedly at the hands of a parent whose son had been punished for alleged bad behaviour.
“While I condole with the bereaved family and teachers across the state on the unfortunate and untimely passing of their father, son, brother and colleague, I have directed the State Police Command to investigate the allegations against the parent and the student with a view to ensuring justice is served on the matter.
“As a state government, we frown seriously at parents going to bully teachers for genuinely meting out disciplinary measures against students for bad behaviour such as is alleged in the extant case.
“I have directed the State Police Command to investigate the case properly and bring the perpetrators to book.
“On behalf of the government and people of Delta, I commiserate with the Ufua family and teachers across the state on the untimely and unfortunate demise of their father and colleague.
“As a state, we will never tolerate actions like this in our schools,” Oborevwori warned.
