Residents of Agric Olope area of Ado Ekiti
have apprehended the proprietor of a
private Nursery and Primary School, who
was found in a bush allegedly having sex
with a pupil of his school. The incident
happened on Monday after school hours.
Our correspondent gathered on
Wednesday that the proprietor, identified
as Mr. Tunde Ibitoye, picked the girl and
another pupil of the same school and
was taking them home in his car when he
stopped at a deserted place and went
into the bush pretending to be
defecating.
An eyewitness, who said he caught the
suspect in the act, said some minutes
after the man went inside the bush, he
called the victim to bring him tissue to
clean up.
The eyewitness, who identified himself as
Kayode Ayeni, said he became curious when
he saw the girl going inside the bush knowing
full well that a man had first gone into the
bush some minutes earlier.
He said he traced the girl’s movement and
found the man half naked and the girl also
undressed and was in a compromising
position.
Ayeni claimed that the proprietor was having
carnal knowledge of the girl when he found the
two of them inside the bush.
The argument between the eyewitness and the
proprietor was said to have attracted a crowd
of passersby and residents to the scene.
The suspect was said to have been beaten up
and escaped being lynched due to the arrival
of some policemen at the scene.
The policemen, who stormed the
scene,dispersed the crowd and took the
suspect away.
When contacted, the state command’s Police
Public Relations Officer, Mr. Victor Babayemi,
said Ibitoye had been arrested for “defiling an
11-year-old pupil,” adding that the suspect
was currently being interrogated by the police
The PPRO said the girl told police investigators
that the proprietor had sex with her.
He added that the girl confessed that the last
act was the fourth time the proprietor would be
having sex with her.
He also said the girl’s father told the police
that there was a time he noticed blood stain
on his daughter’s clothes but the man thought
it was early menstruation.
The proprietor, however, insisted that he did
not have sex with the girl but was just
assisting her home after the school hours.
But Babayemi said the girl had been taken to
a hospital for medical examination, saying the
result would be made public when it was out.
Babayemi said, “There is a man in our custody
who was said to be caught while having sex
with an 11-year-old pupil. The girl has been
taken to hospital for examination and we are
expecting the result.
“We are investigating to see if we can find
other girls who the man might have defiled. If
we find any, it would further corroborate the
allegation. But we advise parents to alway
ensure that their children are put in custody of
responsible people.”
