The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Omu-Aran, Kwara, on Tuesday arrested a 15-year-old student of Ofe-Aran Commercial College, Omu-Aran, for allegedly promoting himself to the next class.
Mr Samuel Ogungbe, the corps' Intelligence Officer, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Omu-Aran that the student was arrested when he refused to repeat his class after failing his examination.
Ogungbe said the school's authorities had instructed the student to leave the school, a directive he ignored.
He told NAN that an official of the school reported the matter to the corps when efforts to make him see reason why he should repeat the class failed.
"The student was said to be violent and the authorities immediately called in the corps and the student was arrested.
"Efforts by his parents to compel him to repeat the class also failed.
"When he was asked to leave the school, he went back to the class in anger and broke 10 window louvre blades in the school," he said.
Ogungbe added that the student might serve a community sentence to serve as a deterrent to others.
NAN gathered that the student, who failed the just concluded JSS3 examination, insisted on remaining in SS1.
