A three-year-old nursery schoolgirl has been sexually abused by her teacher in Awin International Schools nursery school, Ikono, Akwa Ibom state.
Crime Channel gathered that the mother of the child, Dorathy Alphonsus discovered the victim’s underwear was soaked with blood when she returned from school.
Narrating the incident in her lawyer’s office, Dorathy said she noticed her daughter’s underwear was torn and stained with blood.
“My daughter went to school on Wednesday, 13 January, in the morning, nothing happened to her. When my daughter came back from school, I put water (in a bucket) and wanted to bathe her immediately they dropped her at my shop. I removed her knicker, I saw blood. I removed the underwear and I saw blood. The underwear was torn. I shouted and asked her, ‘mummy, what happened to you?’ She said it was aunty that chucked her. I checked her private part, a big wound is there,” she said.
Mrs Alphonsus and her husband, Iniobong, were at the lawyer’s office to
seek legal aid over their daughter’s case.
A police medical form filled by a doctor at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital confirmed the girl has been sexually abused.
The three-year-old who cried intermittently told the mother that a pen was forcefully inserted into her vagina by her class teacher.
Some of the school’s officials were arrested by the police but some of the arrested persons were, however, said to have been released by the police.
The police spokesperson in Akwa Ibom, Odiko MacDon, when contacted said he was not aware of the case.
Also, a magistrate’s court commenced trial in the alleged sexual abuse of 11-year-old boy in the Deeper Life High School, Uyo. The victim was said to have been abused by two senior students at the school when he was switched from his dormitory to another filled with senior students. The two students, both 13 years old, and five officials of the school, including the suspended principal, have pleaded not guilty to the charges. (Crimechannels)
