A teacher, identified as Olayinka Folarin, has been arrested by the Oyo
State Police Command for allegedly defiling three under-aged primary
school girls, including two orphans, who live in an orphanage, His
Heritage Home.
The incident happened at a private school in
Oluyole Estate, Ibadan. The victims whose ages were put between 10 and
11 years were said to have been serially abused by the teacher.
According
to one of the rape victims, the teacher, who has four children, had
been having sex with them since 2013 on a weekly basis.
The girls, it was gathered, were being abused inside the school toilet without the knowledge of the school management.
Though,
the suspect had allegedly threatened to kill any of the girls who spoke
out, but his shady deal was exposed when one of the girls was seen
crying after another round of illicit sex with the teacher.
The
wailing of the girl prompted some male students to ask what happened to
her. She then confided in them that Folarin had just finished raping
her.
In a bid to get him red-handed, the boys reportedly told her
to let them know when next their teacher wanted to take advantage of
them.
The boys advised the girls to tell their guardian, Mrs Temilolu
Morounkeji, who runs the home for orphans and vulnerable children after
school hours.
It was the woman and one Pastor Marcus Williams, a
member of the Child Protection Network, Vanguard gathered, that informed
the Police, who later arrested the teacher.
A
medical check was carried out on the victims at the Adeoyo state
hospital by one Dr Ariwoola and his report read: “Semen was seen around
the victims vulva. Hymen was not intact.”
Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs Olabisi Ilobanafor, described the act as “pathetic.”
“This
was happening in a school and it has been happening for months
undetected. The teacher has been sleeping with the victims in the school
toilet. He has been sleeping with the girls every week since last year.
When the matter was reported to us, the Police went into the matter and
our investigation revealed that he has a gel used in lubricating the
girls. The gel has been recovered from where he kept it in the school
premises. He has been arrested and he will be charged to court.”
She
explained further that the police will also investigate if there were
other girls who had the same experience, saying: ”He even threatened to
kill them and one of the girls said she was afraid of what the suspect
would use in killing her whether physical or spiritual.”
