I wonder when this kind of incident would stop happening in Nigeria.
According to 'This Day', the police in Plateau State have arrested a teacher with Bright Kids Academy, Barkin Ladi, Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of the state, Chukwudi Boniface, for raping and impregnating a 12-year-old primary three pupil in the school.
It was gathered that the teacher had in December last year organised an extra-mural lesson, which was attended by only four pupils, including the victim.
Boniface, after giving them a class work, told the victim to wait for him in the next classroom with her book, where he met her and forcibly had carnal knowledge of her.
The pupil, while narrating her ordeal to reporters yesterday in Jos, said: “My teacher called me to come close and held my hands and then he forced me down and removed my cloths and had sex with me. I cried but nobody came to help me. So after he finished, he warned me not to tell anybody and said if I did, he would deal with me severely.”
A source said the girl is an orphan and because the teacher had warned her not to mention it to anyone, she kept it to herself “until a few months later when we begin to notice some pregnancy signs, and after thorough investigation, she confessed.”
Meanwhile, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Felicia Anselm has confirmed Mr Boniface is under police Net.
We hope justice is served.
