A 13-year-old male student has allegedly been defiled by teacher Joshua Olufemi, 43, of the Heritage Group of Schools in Ofada Town, Obafemi Owode Local Government Area, Ogun State.
It was discovered that Olufemi allegedly had carnal knowledge of the minor through the student’s anus no less than six times at various periods within his premises.
The mother of the student, named only as Stella, allegedly alerted her son that the suspect had been engaging in such criminal behavior on the suspect’s bed during class hours, according to a source who asked to remain anonymous.
The suspect taught mathematics at the junior secondary school and further mathematics at the senior secondary schools of the Heritage Group of schools in the town up until his arrest by police on Thursday.
The mother reportedly went to the Owode Egba Divisional Police Station to report the incident after learning of the teacher’s heinous deed.
Olufemi was reportedly detained and arrested by the police in the division for the claimed crime, and it was reported that they then launched an inquiry into the situation.
Odutola Omolola, the state police public relations officer who verified the suspect’s detention and the event to reporters on Sunday, said an investigation was ongoing to learn more about the teacher’s behavior.
