Sampson Eyo, who allegedly raped his nine-year-old pupil.
The
Chief Magistrate, Mr. Taiwo Oladiran, directed that the accused should be
remanded at the Agodi Prisons custody pending the advice of the Oyo State

Oriola
said, “Eyo, being the class teacher of the girl and also her lesson teacher,
lured the girl after lesson period and had carnal knowledge of her.’’
He
said that the accused committed the offence at 4:00p.m. at the school premises.
Oriola
said that the offence contravened Section 218 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Oyo
State, 2000.
Section
218 stipulates 14 years imprisonment for offender.
The
case was adjourned to Feb. 27 for mention.
