A female teacher has been arrested in Maiduguri, Borno State for allegedly assaulting a four-year-old primary school pupil.
The Police Public Relations Officer for Borno State Police Command, ASP Sani Kamilu Shatambaya, disclosed this to newsmen in Maiduguri, on Saturday, November 25, 2022.
“The case is with the police and the teacher was arrested, “We are doing a thorough and objective investigation on the matter, and later refer it to court,” Shatambaya said.
In his own part, father of the victim, Hassan Dala, said, “It happened in Golden Olive Academy, Maiduguri. “The Academy is a Nursery and Primary school.
“The teacher usually put my daughter inside her veil and forced the girl to suck her, while inserting her finger in my daughter’s private part,” the father told newsmen almost tearfully.
“One day, her mother observed the state of the toddler while bathing her; she started complaining of pains in her private part, but the mother first ignored it, dismissing it as normal.
“When the complaints persisted, the mother noticed blood in the child’s urine, and called my attention to it; We took her to a private clinic at Bulumkutu, Miyetti Clinic, where a doctor advised us to investigate what happened.
“An investigation at Umaru Shehu Hospital confirmed intrusion into the child’s private part.”
