Four-year old mentally challenged girl allegedly defiled in school
Advocates for Children and Vulnerable Persons Network, ACVPN, led by Comrade Ebenezer Omajalile has called on the Police at Zone D Command, Mushin, Lagos, to unravel those behind the defilement of a four-year-old mentally challenged girl inside the school premises.
The incident happened at Spring School located at Mukandasi Street, Okota area of Lagos, where the victim was registered as a pupil by her parents; PM express said.
So far, five members of the school staff including the security guards have been summoned and undergoing interrogations over the alleged assault on the helpless 4-year old victim.
It was alleged that one of the staff of the school was said to have been sacked by the School Management after the parents of the victim complained.
The School Management was said to have refused to disclose the identity of the staff sacked or if the sack had to do with the defilement of the victim.
According to her mother, she brought the little girl to the school in the morning on the day the incident happened, handed over her to the school management and left for work.
She said that she went back to the school to take her home and the little girl complained that her private part and anus were paining her.
The mother then checked and discovered that it had been tampered with.
Obviously, the predator may have used fingers to molest the victim.
She was subsequently taken to the Mirabel Centre in Ikeja, Lagos, where it was confirmed that her private parts were tampered with and the School Management was said to have refused to bring forward the person behind the act.
The matter was initially reported to the Okota Police Division but was transferred to the Gender Section of Zone D Command, Mushin, in line with the State Command’s directive to transfer such cases to the Command or SCIID, Panti, Lagos.
Visiting the school, the Management which was headed by headteachers declined to speak and did not give reasons they refused to tell the Police what really happened and why they sacked their staff.
When the Gender Section handling the matter was contacted, they declined to speak.
However, sources at the Command said that the matter may likely be transferred to SCIID at Panti for further investigation.
ACVPN Coordinator, Comrade Ebenezer Omajalile, said that the little girl needs justice and the Police owe her duty to ensure that the predator was arrested and charged before the Court for justice.
