The 27-year-old schoolmistress identified simply as Violet was picked up by the police for allegedly inserting her finger in the vagina of a female pupil of Light Bearers Private School, located at Iyana-Isashi area of the state.
The class teacher of the Nursery two pupil allegedly defiled the child last Thursday, during school hours on the school premises.
The incident came to light after the victim's mother noticed blood stains on the pants of her 4-year-old daughter when she got home. Upon questioning, the child told her mother how her school mistress inserted her finger in her vagina.
The victim’s mother, Evelyn, in a chat with Vanguard said:
"After my daughter returned from school Thursday last week, I found blood stains on her pants when I wanted to bath her. I was surprised because she is still too young to start menstruating.
"When I asked her what happened, she refused to speak at first because her teacher had threatened her not to. Later, she opened up when I told her that anyone who lies would go to hell.
"She then said it was her Aunty that inserted her fingers inside her bum-bum in class. We reported the case at Iyana-Isashi Police Station."
The child while narrating the incident to Vanguard, confirmed the sexual abuse, saying her teacher did the act in the classroom while her classmates were asleep.
She said:
"My Aunt in school raised my uniform up and put her fingers inside my bum-bum in the class, while others were sleeping. She asked me not to tell my mother or anybody."
The victim was taken to Bisimol Hospital at Graceland Estate, where it was confirmed that her hymen has been broken.
The case was reported at Iyana-Isashi Police Division, Friday morning, and the teacher was invited for questioning.
The Investigating Police Officer took the victim to Mirabel Centre in Ikeja, but they got there late and were asked to return next day. When they got back on Saturday, a medical examination at the center confirmed that the victim has been defiled.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the incident saying the case has been transferred to the Command’s Gender Desk Unit.
She said:
"It is under investigation and the culprit will be charged to court immediately investigation is completed."
