Two Teachers of Zaria Children School, Kaduna State, were on Thursday arraigned in a Chief Magistrate\u2019s Court at Tudun-Wada Zaria, over alleged defilement of a minor student.
\nZaria Children School, located at Queen Elizabeth Road, G.R.A, Zaria, is one of the famous and oldest schools in the city, which was built by the colonial masters.
\nThe Prosecutor, ASC Mustapha Abdulkadir said the two teachers and three other teachers (now at large) were standing trial on a charge of lesbianism.
\nHe said the alleged offence is contrary to section 259 of the Kaduna State Penal Code Law 2017.
\nThe prosecutor told the court that on September 11, one Yahaya Aliyu of Tudun Jukun area, Zaria, came to the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), Zaria Area Command and lodged a report against the defendants.
\nHe said the defendants are Atoyebi-Eunice Temitope (female) of No. 2, Dogon Bauchi, Sabon Gari, Zaria and Adeyemo Damilola (female) of Hanwa New Extension, Zaria and three others now at large.
\nAccording to the prosecutor, the defendants are teachers at Zaria Children School.
\nHe alleged that sometime on September 18, when the nominal complainant\u2019s wife was bathing the victim, an 11-year-old pupil and a Junior Secondary School (JSS-1) student at the school, she observed that the victim was molested.
\n\u201cUpon interrogation at home, the victim mentioned the names of the defendants and alleged that it started sometime in 2023, when the victim was in primary three.
\n\u201cThe victim also alleged that the first defendant, Temitope (known to the victim as Mrs Okasha) took the victim to a toilet near class 4A during long break lesson period and put an object into her private part.
\n\u201cShe alleged that the incident happened over three different times and further alleged that Mrs Okasha threatened to inform kidnappers to abduct her if she disclose the affair to anybody,\u2019\u2019 he said.
\nThe prosecutor also told the court that on September 16, when the school resumed, the second defendant Adeyemo Damilola called the victim upstairs (the secondary school section) and entered female toilet with her.
\nHe added that while in the female toilet, the second defendant inserted something into her private part using an object that looks like a syringe.
\nThe prosecutor told the court that the alleged actions of the defendants violate section 259 of the Kaduna State Penal Code Law 2017 as amended.
\nThe presiding judge, Senior Magistrate Rabi Hashim adjourned matter till Oct. 22, for further mention, pending legal advice from the Kaduna State Ministry of Justice.
\nShe also ordered that the defendants be remanded at Zaria Correctional Centre.
\nThe school was contacted on the matter for information on the three staff members still at large.
\nHowever, Mr Apoju Sunday-Adeyemi, Principal of the school, who did not deny the allegations against the teachers said the issues were still allegations and investigations were ongoing.
\n\u201cI don\u2019t want to comment further on a matter that is before the court of law,\u2019\u2019 he said. (NAN)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
