A statement by the spokesperson of the NSCDC in Osun, Kehinde Adeleke, on behalf of the State Commandant, Igbalawole Sotiyo, on Tuesday, explained that discreet investigation revealed that the 22-year-old school teacher started molesting the girl sometimes in 2024.
“According to his confessional statement, when it was closing time after school, he asked the victim to close all windows in a classroom and thrusted his manhood into her mouth”, the teacher was quoted in the statement.
Adeleke noted that the suspect was arraigned by NSCDC, Wednesday, March 26, 2025, before a magistrate court in Ilesa, where he pleaded not guilty to the one count charge and was subsequently remanded at the correctional service in Ilesa.
“The second incident happened on March 20, 2025 after school hours. It was only the teacher and the girl that were in the class and he pressed her buttocks.
“The suspect was arraigned by NSCDC on Wednesday 26th March, 2025 before the Magistrate Court in Ilesa where he pleaded not guilty to the one count charge and was subsequently remanded at the correctional service in Ilesa”, the statement added.
