Islamic teacher deflowers six-year-old girl

A 24-year-old Islamic teacher has been remanded in custody by the Yaba Magistrate’s Court for sexually assaulting a six-year-old student at the Central Mosque of the University of Lagos, Nigeria.

The defendant was arraigned on two counts of sexual violation preferred against him by the state police command.

“My child returned home from school with blood stains on her clothes,” according to the victim’s mother.

“She told me that her class teacher took her to a separate classroom, tied her mouth and hands and defiled her with a stern warning that she should not tell anybody,” she added.

“It was the second time that the teacher would defile the child,” according to the police prosecutor, Thomas Nurudeen.

“The offenses committed are punishable under Sections 261 and 137 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State 2015,” according to the prosecutor.
