According to the police report, he was arrested after the proprietress of the unnamed school reported the incident at Sango police station.
The police quoted the proprietress saying, “the suspect had been raping her repeatedly since the resumption of the school in preparation for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination.”
“She stated further that the said teacher intimidated the victim by telling her that she will not pass the WAEC exams, if she didn’t allow him having sex with her, consequence upon which he has been calling her out of the dormitory in the night and taking her to a classroom where he used to have carnal knowledge of her.”
