“Uncle Said I Would Die If I Told My Mummy”- Heartbreaking Confession Of 6 year Old Girl Who Was Raped By Her Teacher’s Son

Punch Metro reports the sad case of a six year old student of  Medinat Al Munawarat Islamic Nursery and Primary School, a boarding school at Iju, along Sango-Idiroko Road, Ogun State,  who was raped by her school proprietress’ son, identified as Sirotullahi Abdufatahi, 21.

It was uncovered that the accused, threatened the young girl, saying that she would die if she told any one what he was doing to her.

Her mother, Sola, who was widowed a few years back, had no idea what her daughter was going through. A week to her resumption date, Mariam was spending some time at her cousin’s place where she decided to share with her cousin, what “uncle Sirotullahi” had been doing to her in school at night. She shared about how he would come to their room on some nights, pull her out of the bed and ask her to pull down her pants.

When correspondents interviewed Mariam and her mother, her gentle reply was, “Do you mean Uncle Sirotullahi that usually came to remove my pant in our room?” , she then proceeded to narrate the horrific incident.

“Uncle Sirotullahi usually came to our room where we sleep. When they switch off the light, he would come and pull me from the bed. Then, he would pull down my pant and also remove his own trousers. He always bring out his thing and put it in my ‘bum’ here (pointing to her crotch). Sometime, he would come into the room and take another girl,” she said.

Mariam innocently went on describing the incident, occasionally looking at her mother who sobbed through it all. She told reporters that it had happened to her seven times. Her mother Sola, said she decided to put her daughter in the boarding school because it was run by people in her religion, and she believed she could get the right education and care. She said that she also trusted the school, as she had also been a student of the school proprietress before.

Correspondents also learned that when the school proprietress was confronted about her son’s escapades in her school, instead of inviting her son to come and testify, she called him on the phone to ask, and as expected, he denied it.

The spokespersonson for the Ogun State Police Command, Abimbola Oyeyemi, explained that even though the mother of the suspect could not be arrested in place of  her son, the police still have to investigate the case. He promised to find out from the Divisional Police Officer at Onipanu what was being done about the case.
