She said, “The parents of the minor approached our division at Obada Oko on June 12, 2024, to report the incident. The suspect was employed in 2023 to help the survivor with her studies at home.
“However, on June 9, 2024, the suspect was caught committing the crime after he had jumped over the fence of the house. Our men swung into action immediately after the matter was reported.
“The suspect was also believed to be attending the same church that the survivor attends every Sunday. He confessed to the crime after we arrested him.”
A similar incident involving 43-year-old Joshua Olufemi, a teacher at the Heritage Group of Schools in Ofada Town, Obafemi Owode Local Government Area, Ogun State, happened in September 2023.
The instructor is accused of assaulting a 13-year-old male student.
Before his arrest, Olufemi was thought to have had at least six separate instances of suspected carnal knowledge of the minor through the pupil’s anus in his chamber.
