A 25-year-old class teacher at a primary school in Ago Iwoye area of Ogun State, Ayobami Oluwatobiloba Runsewe, has allegedly defiled a 13-year-old girl in his class.
The police in Ogun confirmed
that the man who is a class teacher of a nursery and primary school in
Ago-Iwoye, Ijebu North Local Government Area had been arrested for allegedly
having unlawful carnal knowledge of his 13-year-old pupil.
According to information from a
police source in the state command on Sunday, the suspect had been hired by the
girl’s parents in 2023 to tutor her at their home in the community. It was also
revealed that Onayemi had been attending the same church as the survivor before
the crime occurred.
The survivor’s parents were
reportedly shocked when Onayemi allegedly scaled the fence of their home to
gain access to the 13-year-old’s room and commit the crime.
Omolola Odutola, spokesperson
for the state command, confirmed the incident and stated that Onayemi had been
arrested following the report made by the minor's parents on June 12, 2024.
“The suspect was employed in
2023 to help the survivor with her studies at home. However, on June 9, 2024,
the suspect was caught committing the crime after he had jumped over the fence
of the house. Our men swung into action immediately after the matter was
reported," Odutola said.
She added, “The suspect was
also believed to be attending the same church that the survivor attends every
Sunday. He confessed to the crime after we arrested him.”
In September 2023, a similar
incident was reported by Punch Metro involving a 43-year-old teacher, Joshua
Olufemi, from the Heritage Group of Schools in Ofada Town, Obafemi Owode Local
Government Area of Ogun State. Olufemi allegedly assaulted a 13-year-old male
pupil, reportedly having carnal knowledge of the minor through the pupil’s anus
on multiple occasions inside his room before his arrest.
