A Yaba Chief Magistrate’s Court has ordered the prison remand of
a teacher of Maromipin Nursery and Primary School, a private school in Makoko,
Lagos, for allegedly raping a 10-year-old pupil.
The 34-year-old teacher, Tunde Mudashir, was arraigned by the
police on one count of sexual assault before the presiding magistrate, Mrs.
A.F. Adeeyo on Monday.
Punch learnt that Mudashir had
tricked the primary 3 pupil, Sandra, to one of the deserted classrooms on a
Thursday on the pretext that he wanted to give her extra coaching.
It was gathered that during the purported coaching, Mudashir
told the victim to spread her legs, which she did. As Sandra tried to question
Mudashir’s instruction, he reportedly resorted to force, removed her pants and
raped her. He was said to have covered her mouth when she wanted to cry for
help.
Punch’s correspondent was told that Mudashiru warned her against
divulging the act to a third party, threatening to kill her if she did.
A source said trouble started when Sandra groaned with pains
before she could urinate and started discharging blood from her private parts.
The source, who preferred to remain anonymous, said the girl was
rushed to a hospital where tests carried out on her allegedly revealed that she
had been raped.
Adjourning the case till June 20, 2016, Adeeyo held that the
accused should be kept in prison custody pending when he would be able to
perfect his bail conditions.
