School proprietor rapes 9-year-old pupil in Kaduna, El-Rufai reacts

Samuel Ejikeme, proprietor of Liberation College, in Trikania, Kaduna has been arrested for allegedly raping a female 9-year-old pupil of his school after he confessed on tape.

Kaduna State Commissioner of Human Services and Social Development, Hafsat Baba who confirmed the incident advised parents to withdraw their wards from the school.

She tweeted;

Parents with wards at Liberation College, behind Govt Model Sch, Trikania are advised to withdraw them from the school. Pic is Mr. Samuel Ejikeme, proprietor of the school, allegedly raped a 9-year old girl. He confessed on tape. We’re yet to establish if there are other victims

It is really troubling to hear that administrators and teachers who are supposed to be pillars of support and protection to our wards are turning predatory. Please parents should speak more to their daughters and sons to ease exposure of these beasts in human skin.

In his instant response, Governor Nasir El-Rufai has immediately directed the Kaduna Quality Assurance Authority to immediately withdraw the school’s license & close it down.

He tweeted;

THANKS COMMISSIONER: The Kaduna Quality Assurance Authority should immediately withdraw the school’s license & close it down. KASUPDA should look into its development permit and take further action within two weeks. Mr. Ejikeme must be detained & vigorously prosecuted.
