Ivy School Teacher Disvirgins 3year old Girl with Pencil

As you read this, a  popular  private nursery and primary school , IVY  school, located at isheri, Ojodu Berger is battling with a child abuse case. And the case being still investigated by the state CID,M.A.K smith street, Panti,Yaba, borders on what has been tagged sexual assault by penetration on a 3yr old pupil (name withheld) by her class teacher, Miss Oruma patience. According to a petition written by the mother of the little girl,mrs zainab rodemade , and addressed to the deputy commissioner of police, state CID, a copy of which was made available city people- The whole saga began when the girl returned from school  one Thursday afternoon.

“On 21th June, 2012,my daughter returned from school as usual and I decided to bath her at about 8.20p.m. I noticed she cried  when I was about washing her private part  and she pointed her finger in that direction which arose my interest to find out why”. The petition further reads in part: …. And they stated further that  it was their daughter who explained that her aunt Favour inserted pencil into her private part in their school toilet  and she was also asked to demonstrate how her aunt did it which she did.

The disturbed mother further stated in her petition, “I took it upon myself to report to the head teacher of the school the next day 22^nd june 2012. The head  teacher  called the said aunt Favour and 2 other female teachers for my daughter to identify the person who used pencil on her private part surprisingly she still pointed to the same “Aunty Favour”.

She continues: “My husband and I decided to report the case to the police at Isheri police station where we were given a letter to go to the general hospital, Ikeja. We were reliably informed that my daughter has been defiled already as a result of that pencil the “aunt” used on her. I was highly disturbed and devastated  as a mother when IPO in charge of the case and his boss informed me on 27^th June 2012 that we should settle the case amicably and that they couldn’t investigate the case any  further. This came to us as a huge  surprise”. The petition ended on a pleading note to the deputy commissioner of police and it says: “Sir on this note, I will be glad if you can use your good office to call for this case and discreetly probe into it so as to serve as deterrent to other teachers and other  out there because I learnt the menace is a common practice in this very school which could be stopped  forthwit  as many babies have lost their virginity through this means in the same school for spiritual purpose”.

A copy of the medical report from Lagos State University Teaching Hospital Ikeja, confirming that the little girl had been defiled was also made available to us.

Meanwhile, there is another  interesting  angle to the story. The father of the allegedly assaulted baby, Alhaji Rodemade, recounted  that he was not around when the incident happened and on his return  from far away Ekiti state where he had gone for his business, he took it upon himself to get to the root of the matter. In so doing, he went to the school and asked to see the class teacher who molested his daughter,and the head teacher, Mr  Sunmola whom he approached  told him that the teacher was not in the school. Out of rage however, he- grabbed the 2 teachers standing close tightly by their clothes that he wouldn’t let go of them until they produced the wanted teacher. Alhaji Rodemade added that it was after this they went to fetch the wanted teacher who was hiding behind the school. He concluded that the school might be a party to the crime which is the only possible reason they where shielding the culprit from him.

The husband to the proprietress of the school, Mr Olaiya, had earlier approached Alhaji Rodemade, father of the assaulted child in person at the Isheri Police Station where the case was before it was transferred to Panti. He proposed the case be settled between them(the school and the parents) and that he(the husband to the proprietress)was willing to give him any amount but he refused blatantly.

On the Saturday that followed the Friday on which he went to demand to see the teacher that molested his daughter, a detachment of police  from CID came banging at his gate early in the morning and on inquiry, he was told they wanted to arrest him for a reported case of harassment  at Ivy nursery and primary school with thugs. This came to him as a strange accusation since he went to the school alone out of rage as a concerned father.

He said he made some calls to some people who advised him to follow the policemen- and on getting to their station,they deliberately took him round to see how criminals were  being tortured inhumanly, apparently to scare him into dropping the case he was fighting  against the school.  After making a call to a top ranking police officer who spoke with the DOP at the police station, he was asked to go home after writing his statement.

A ritual angle is suspected about the matter and given a high degree of credence because the little girl also recounted the blood that came out of her private part was dabbed with a white cloth by the teacher. And since the owners of the school were doing everything  to kill the matter instead of exposing and making the teacher face the music, the teacher might just be their agent with the mission to get blood of virgin girls for ritual purposes.

When our reporter visited state CID at  Panti on Monday, July 2^nd , it was confirmed that the case was at the station. He also witnessed interrogation by the deputy commissioner of police of the parties involved in the case at his office which was discreetly observed by our reporter. The parties include the father and mother of the assaulted girl, the girl herself,  the suspect, Miss Oruma Patience, the school head teacher , Mr Sunmola, the husband to the proprietress, Mr Olaiya, and the Lawyer, Bar. Emeka okumah, and few other plain clothed police officers. The proprietress of the school Mrs Olaiya was conspicuously absent, and during the interrogation the same scenario of the little girl pointing to the petite and fear –stricken teacher as the one that tampereded with her private part using a pencil. The teacher denied the allegations, in spite of all the indicators to the contrary. As at the time of filing this report, police were still carrying out further investigation into the matter.
