Two Lagos teachers arrested, remanded for gang raping 15-year old female student
Two secondary school teachers in Lagos State, Akindoyin Akintelewa, 33 and Mabayoje Olusegun, 37, have been aremanded in prison for allegedly gang-raping a 15-year old female student.
They were accused raping the girl for several months before they were eventually caught in the act.
The incident allegedly took place at State Junior Grammar School, Ifako Ijaiye, where the suspects were employed as teachers.
The Police said the teachers lured the girl to an undisclosed place and used their fingers to tamper with her private part from November, 2021 and eventually opened it up for penetration.
The finger penetrations were said to have continued before they started engaging her in sex romp in February, 2022 before the information leaked and the girl opened up.
The matter was reported to the Isokoko Police Division.
The teachers were subsequently arrested and detained at the police station for proper investigation.
After thorough investigation, the Police found them culpable and subsequently charged them before an Ogba Magistrate’s Court.
When they were arraigned, the court did not take their plea following a motion moved by the Police Prosecutor, Bisi Ogunleye, asking the court to refer the matter to the office of the director of Public Prosecution (DPP) for legal advice.
The Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. E. Kubeinje, ordered their remand in custody and directed the prosecutor to duplicate and send the file to the DPP for advice.
The matter was adjourned till 24th April, 2022, for the DPP’s report to be available, which will determine if the matter will be referred to a High Court or not.
