A teacher in a private secondary school in the Igbala area of Sango Ota, Ogun State, identified as Matthew Sodeke, has been arrested by the State Police Command for allegedly assaulting a 16-year-old male student in one of the classes after school hours.
Punch reports that Sodeke who teaches English
Language in the school, was caught by a parent who had gone to the
school to pick up her child, while he was sucking on the private part of
the student identified as Ajala and reported the matter to the school authority leading to the suspect’s arrest.
It was gathered that after the close of school on
Tuesday, July 12, 2016, Sodeke had sent for Ajala to see him in one of
the offices and when the boy got there, the teacher ordered him to pull
down his trouser and he proceeded to suck him manhood.
The parent, while looking for her child, was shocked
at the strange sight and raised the alarm and the Sodeke and the boy
were apprehended. The abuse was reported to the Sango Police Division
and the teacher was arrested.
A parent, identified as Shokoya, who
witnessed the sordid sight, said Sodeke was beaten up by a mob before
she was rescued by the police, adding that the student confessed that
the teacher had been in habit of sucking his private parts on several
occasions before that day.
“The teacher was caught while molesting the boy after school hours. He could not deny it because he was caught in the act.
After a parent had raised the alarm, other
parents and youths descended on the teacher and beat him to a pulp. He
was thereafter handed over to the police at the Sango Division.
The teacher said he was formerly living with his
brother, a pastor, who later sent him out when he (the pastor) caught
him sucking a neighbour’s private parts.
When the pupil was also interviewed, he confessed
that it was not the first time the teacher would molest him. He said
the teacher warned him not to disclose the act to anyone.”
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Muyiwa Adejobi,confirmed
the incident, saying the suspect has been transfered to State
Department of Criminal Investigation, Eleweran, Abeokuta, for further
investigation, after which he will be charged to court.
“It is a case of indecent assault. The English
Language teacher, Sodeke, called the victim to one of the offices and
asked him to remove his trousers. He then put Ajala’s private parts in
his mouth.
Based on this report, detectives from the Sango
division arrested the culprit and brought him to the station for
interrogation. He confessed to the crime.”
