Adeniran Adebayo, (pictured below) a
primary school teacher has been arrested
and arranged in court by the Lagos state
police command for raping a primary 4 pupil
inside the toilet of their private primary
school located on Olateju Ilesanmi Street,
Baruwa, Ipaja area of Lagos, Punch
reports.
Testifying before a Lagos State Chief
Magistrate Court in Ebutte Metta yesterday
August 13th, the Investigating Police
officer from the state Criminal
Investigation Department Yaba said he
interrogated the little girl three times in
which she affirmed that her teacher, Mr
Adeniran, who is married with two children,
had lured her to the school toilet and forced
himself into her and then threatened to flog
her if she screamed. Continue...
The police officer investigating the case
said;
"I interviewed the victim after the
matter was brought to the SCID. She
said on the fateful day, she was in
school after the closing hours and was
waiting for her younger brother, who
attended the same school, so they
could go back home together. While
waiting, she decided to get busy with
her assignments. She said it was while
she was doing the assignment that the
teacher came and said she should
follow him. He then took her to a toilet
within the school premises and
threatened to cane her if she
screamed, unzipped himself, undressed
the pupil and made love to her. The girl
said she was crying while this was on.
It was a female teacher, who was
passing by that heard her cry. The
female teacher came closer to have a
better look and immediately the
suspect saw her, he quickly zipped up.
The pupil said the female teacher told
him that being a teacher, he should
never have taken advantage of the
girl.”
The accused, Mr Adeniran, while narrating
what happened to the Chief Magistrate,
denied the claims, saying he never raped the
girl
"I am the health teacher of the school.
I married five years ago, and have two
sons. There are six male teachers in
the school. On that day, I didn’t call
the girl. I only stood at the gate and
asked her and her brother to go home.
That was all. I was surprised that
after four days, they came to my
office and arrested me. The toilet in
question has never even been used by
anybody.” he said
The Chief Magistrate, O.O. Olatunji, was
however not satisfied by his own account,
stating that children between the ages of
6-11 never tell lies
"Kids hardly lie, especially when they
are between the ages of six to 11. And
that’s why I find it hard to believe the
account of the defendant. People like
you should not be in the society. If like
you said there were six male teachers
in your school, why did she decide to
pick only you? It’s such a big shame,”
the Chief magistrate said
The police prosecutor advised the court to
remand the accused in prison but he was
granted bail in the sum of N300,000 with
two sureties in like sum. The judge ordered
Adeniran should be remanded in Prison until
the bail conditions have been fulfilled. The
case was adjourned till October 15th.

Poor pupil! A terrible trauma at such a tender age. Hmm, just a thought... Are the mental homes still functional in 9ja?

What's the witnesses story?

The female teacher who is the only witness should come and testify in the court. If he's found guilty, then the court should take necessary action. I pity the poor girl. What a traumatic experience she had
