See What Guard Did To A 2-year-old Within a School Premises in Lagos

A school security guard, indigene of Ekpoma, Edo State, has put himself into trouble after he allegedly defiled an 8-year-old primary two pupil within the school premises after closing hours.

It was gathered that the 40-year-old man called Friday Oshoba, aka Mopol, raped the innocent girl, Mercy (pseudonym), who was waiting for her sister to pick her up after the school closed around 2pm.

Punch reports that the security guard was said to have raped the girl after convincing her to follow him to an abandoned place within the school and then removed her underwear.

Thank God for a primary 5 pupil who was sent on an errand, caught Oshoba in the act and then reported him to a teacher.

Mercy, on the other hand, had reported the incident to her parents on getting home. The next day, Mercy’s uncle followed her to the school and reported the matter to the head teacher, who in turn informed policemen from the Itire division.

Narrating how the incident happened, Mercy said to the police: “I was in the school on May 11 at about 2pm when Mopol (Oshoba) called me to a place on the school premises.

He removed my underwear and put his thing (manhood) inside my bum-bum. Bukola, who is in primary five, saw us and reported to her teacher. I also told my daddy when I got home.”

However, Oshoba, on the other hand, denied raping the girl, saying he did not know her name. He was silent in his statement on whether he took Mercy to any spot as alleged.

In his statement, he said: “The girl is one of our pupils in Adeniyi Primary School.

“I did not know her name, but I know she is in Primary two. I did not do anything with her. I was married, but my wife left me and I don’t have any child.”

Meanwhile, Mercy was taken to Mirabel Centre, Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, where medical examinations were carried out on her and was confirmed that she had bruises in her private part.

A social worker at the centre said: “The result of the test conducted on the girl shows that she had bruises and fresh lacerations on her hymen. These suggest that the suspect forcefully penetrated her private parts as she claimed.”

The accused was brought before an Apapa Magistrate’s Court by a police prosecutor, Francisca Job, on one count of rape.

The charge read:

“That you, Friday Oshoba, on May 11, 2016, at about 2pm, at Adeniyi Primary School, Itire, Lagos State, in the Apapa Magisterial District, did defile an eight-year-old girl… thereby committing an offence punishable under Section 137 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.”

The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge.

The presiding magistrate, Mrs A.O. Adegbite admitted him to bail in the sum of N200,000 with two sureties in like sum.

The case was adjourned till July 27, 2016.
