I used to be angry about having to put on uniform every 5 days of the week too, sport wears saved us Wednesdays.
That's one good thing about the uniform, it's for identity. Not just an identity but a unique identity; to distinguish every pupil and student from other schools. That boy might not have been easily noticed or found if not for the uniform.
A similar case happened in Abeokuta, a little boy got missing after closing hour of the school. He was found walking alone in his uniform beside and expressways. He would have been perceived to be a normal kid roaming about if not for his uniform and look.
Back in secondary school days, students are identified by their uniform after every inter house sport fights.

Yesso... back then when we played ball and returned home late, we would usually remove our shirts because if a teacher saw us, the next morning would be bloody for us.🤣
