BEVERLY HILLS, September 11, (THEWILL) – A private secondary school teacher, Mathew Adebayo has been arrested by the Ogun State police Command for forcefully having unlawful carnal knowledge of a 15-year old student.
A statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi said the teacher was arrested following a report by the proprietress at Sango police station that she was informed by “one of her SS3 students that the suspect has been raping her repeatedly since the resumption of the school in preparation for the WAEC examination.”
Oyeyemi added that the said teacher intimidated the victim, threatening “her that she will not pass the WAEC exams if she didn’t allow him have sex with her”, consequence upon which he has been calling her out of the dormitory in the night and taking her to “a classroom where he used to have carnal knowledge of her.”
The PPRO said when the victim could no longer bear the sexual assault of the randy teacher; she decided to inform the proprietress.
