Kwara teacher molests 7-year-old pupil

On Tuesday, a nursery and primary school teacher, Akorede Hammed, was arraigned before a Kwara State Family Court, Ilorin, for allegedly sexually molesting a seven-year-old pupil of his school in the Oyun area of Ilorin, the state capital.

Hammed was brought before Magistrate Shade Lawal on allegation of gross indecency contrary to Section 285 of the Penal Code Law.
The police first information report revealed that the minor narrated how she was allegedly molested to her father when she got home on the day of the incident.

The police report stated that the victim’s father wrote a complaint to the Area Command Metro, Ilorin.According to the report, the father said Hammed took his daughter to a toilet and locked her up.

He added that the teacher removed her pants and molested her with his fingers.Hammed was also alleged to have opened the door for the girl after she resisted the moves.

“Police investigation revealed that Hammed, who was the victim’s Yoruba teacher, absconded from the school to an unknown place until he was later seen and arrested by detectives of the area command,” the report said.

The proceeding was, however, stalled following the absence of the victim in court, as the magistrate insisted that the pupil, who attended His Grace Nursery/Primary School, be physically present before the matter could go on.

The matter was adjourned till September 16, 2020
