The Adamawa State chapter of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) has refuted a media report that a teacher identified as Nathan (surname withheld) raped a 12-year-old schoolgirl in Namtari village of Yola South in Adamawa State.

The chairman of the union in the state, Comrade Rodney Nathan, speaking with Tribune Online at the union’s secretariat in Yola, said the claims made by Adamawa Police command, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), was premature, as according to him, “Proper investigations were not carried out before going to the press.”

Comrade Rodney told Tribune Online that the relationship between the teacher in Adamawa State and the schoolgirl was a known one to the parents of the girl and the society (Namtari) at large.

He said that as of the time, Mr Yusuf was arrested, the keys to his room were with the girl in question, which he said suggested that the duo were consciously engaged in a mutual relationship.

However, while condemning rape as a crime, he vowed to decisively deal with any teacher found in the act.

The NUT chairman contended that “one cannot call a mutual relationship between a schoolgirl and her teacher who are mutually in love a rape case.”

He said from the report submitted by a panel of enquiry set up by NUT to investigate the matter, it became known that the schoolgirl, a student of Government Secondary School (GSS), and Nathan, a primary school teacher in Namtari, had been lovers for at least, six months.

Also, the NUT chairman the investigation committee’s report revealed that the schoolgirl “is carrying a six-month pregnancy, an indication that a long term relationship had existed between the teacher and the schoolgirl.”

The NUT chairman, further queried the claims be security agents, as he asked: “At what point did the rape take place, was it six months ago, or now that it was discovered the schoolgirl is carrying a six-month pregnancy?

Comrade Rodney blamed the parents of the minor for encouraging the relationship, as it was reported that the accused teacher was always in her house and her parents were aware of the relationship.

This NUT chairman is either dumb or mentally impaired ....can u imagine somebody in charge of the hem of affairs of an education body , in the 21st century and not the caveman era ,calling a relationship between a teacher and a " 12 year old " ignorant girl " - a mutual relationship !
In some saner clines this is worse than rape , the teacher is a proper paedophile , cos I wonder what exactly would have attracted him to a 12 year old ! , He should be prosecuted for rape , and assaulting a minor ....the parents of the girl are clearly ignorant , myopic minded , highly uneducated , financially and mentally poor and very foolish , to allow such a relationship !
I sometimes wonder if the laws of the land , are only binding on the south, east and west , because the way this northerners are doing things like they're in a banana republic is alarming !!!!

Of course, we know their ladies start coupulating at 9 yrs old

Is it not a northern state? Abeg save your breath for normal human beings. it's a normal phenomenon over there. From 9 years old they start catching them young

The NUT Adamawa state chapter chairman should be sacked immediately for being careless with his utterances. The 12 years old girl is a child for crying out loud. The Teacher who should have guided her in the right path choose to misguide her instead. This Teacher should be prosecuted for defiling a minor.

Nah. I think he's on point.
It's permitted in their religion.

The problem is the religion which has laws that permits girls even younger to indulge in such.

I don't know why we are now acting as if we don't know that its in the North and it is part of them...

One more evidence to show that the primitive North and the enlightened South are not compatible. This forced Union between North and South is a grave injustice.

ok NOTED

i am strongly against Raype and Child abuse.

i am also strongly against jumping into conclusions before the end of a proper & well conducted investigation into any matter. Especially sensational and emotionally manipulative story telling by premature & uncouth wanna be journalists.

COZA pastor wey knack 15yr old na Rape.

Teacher wey knack 12yr old no be rape, something wrong.

Let him marry her then, after all in the north they marry girls as young as nine years old

It's a northern something. Y'all shouldn't be surprised.

Hmmm...I don't even know what to type.

What kind of headline is this? Pregnant or impregnate

How will a Teacher be in love with a 12 year old girl to the extent of impregnating her? What kind of subject is he teaching the girl?

John 11:35, Jesus wept

I am asking this question for the umpteenth time : why is it that if it was a southerner that did this, he will be arrested for rape or child abuse but when its a northerner, it will be called romance?

Facepalm

Can't blame the NUT chairman sha o, age of consent for muslims is 11 years according to Nigeria's constitution.

Most of you guys didn't read the story. He didn't defend the teacher, he only flayed the Civil Defense for not making investigation before concluding a rape case.
