Residents of Agric Olope area of Ado Ekiti have apprehended the proprietor of a private Nursery and Primary School, who was found in a bush allegedly having sex with a pupil of his school.
The incident happened on Monday after school hours.Our correspondent
gathered on Wednesday that the proprietor, identified as Mr. Tunde
Ibitoye, picked the girl and another pupil of the same school and was
taking them home in his car when he stopped at a deserted place and went
into the bush pretending to be defecating.
An eyewitness, who said he caught the suspect in the act, said some
minutes after the man went inside the bush, he called the victim to
bring him tissue to clean up.
The eyewitness, who identified himself as Kayode Ayeni, said he became
curious when he saw the girl going inside the bush knowing full well
that a man had first gone into the bush some minutes earlier.
He said he traced the girl’s movement and found the man half naked and
the girl also undressed and was in a compromising position.Ayeni claimed
that the proprietor was having carnal knowledge of the girl when he
found the two of them inside the bush.
The argument between the eyewitness and the proprietor was said to have
attracted a crowd of passersby and residents to the scene.The suspect
was said to have been beaten up and escaped being lynched due to the
arrival of some policemen at the scene.
The policemen, who stormed the scene,dispersed the crowd and took the suspect away.
When contacted, the state command’s Police Public Relations Officer, Mr.
Victor Babayemi, said Ibitoye had been arrested for “defiling an
11-year-old pupil,” adding that the suspect was currently being
interrogated by the police
The PPRO said the girl told police investigators that the proprietor had
sex with her.He added that the girl confessed that the last act was the
fourth time the proprietor would be having sex with her.
He also said the girl’s father told the police that there was a time he
noticed blood stain on his daughter’s clothes but the man thought it was
early menstruation.
The proprietor, however, insisted that he did not have sex with the girl but was just assisting her home after the school hours.
But Babayemi said the girl had been taken to a hospital for medical examination, saying the result would be made public when it was out.
Babayemi said,
“There is a man in our custody who was said to be caught while having sex with an 11-year-old pupil. The girl has been taken to hospital for examination and we are expecting the result.
“We are investigating to see if we can find other girls who the man might have defiled. If we find any, it would further corroborate the allegation. But we advise parents to alway ensure that their children are put in custody of responsible people.”
