A 26 years old teacher, Mathew Adebayo, of a private secondary school (name withheld) has been arrested by the police for defiling a 15 years old student.
The teacher was arrested following a report by the proprietress of the school at Sango police station, Ogun State, that she was informed by one of her SS3 students that the suspect had been defiling her repeatedly since the resumption of the school in preparation for the WAEC examination.
She stated further that the said teacher intimidated the victim by telling her that she would not pass the WAEC examination if she didn’t allow him have sex with her.
She said consequent upon that the Adebayo had been calling her out of the dormitory in the night and taking her to a classroom where he used to have carnal knowledge of her.
When the victim could no longer bear the sexual assault of the randy teacher, she decided to inform the proprietress.
Upon the report, the DPO, Sango division, Godwin Idehai, detailed his detectives to the scene where the suspect was promptly arrested.
He has since then made a confessional statement admitting the commission of the crime.
The victim has been taken to hospital for medical attention.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Edward A. Ajogun, has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to the anti-human trafficking and child labour unit of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for further investigation and prosecution.
