Teacher Rapes 14 Year Old Student … Gives Her N30 To Cover Up

The Lagos State Police has arrested a Computer Studies teacher, identified as Cosmos Ubaja, for allegedly raping a 14-year-old Junior Secondary School student in the Owutu area of Ikorodu in Lagos.

Punch reports that the suspect, who owns a computer centre, first raped his victim when she went to the centre to make photocopies after school hours. He then continued to sexually abuse her after that, and each time, he gave her money to keep quiet, and recently paid her N30.

This continued for eight months until the child complained to her mother that she had stomach pains and her menstrual cycle had become irregular, a source told Punch.

The source said, “She was then taken to a private hospital. That was where it was discovered that she had been raped several times. The girl confessed that it was the computer instructor who raped her and he was arrested. He has also confessed to the crime.”

The rape was then reported to the Owutu Police Division and the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team (DSVRT), Alausa, which in turn took the victim for checkup at the Mirabel Centre, Ikeja.

The Coordinator of the team, Lola Vivour-Adeniyi, stated that the matter had been transferred to the Gender Unit of the Lagos State Police Command.

She said, “The matter got to our attention on Monday, June 20. The 14-year-old girl was raped by her computer teacher near the school’s premises.

“The teacher and some individuals around the school initially pleaded with the girl’s parents not to report to the police. Fortunately, they rejected the plea.

“The perpetrator is in police custody and the case has been transferred from the division to the Gender Unit at the police headquarters, Ikeja. The Directorate of Public Prosecutions has also requested the duplicate case file.”
