As you read this, a popular private nursery
and primary school, IVY school, located at Isheri, Ojodu Berger is
battling with a child abuse case. And the case being still investigated
by the state CID, M.A.K Smith Street, Panti, Yaba, borders on what has
been tagged sexual assault by penetration on a 3yr old pupil (name
withheld) by her class teacher, Miss Oruma Patience.

According
to a petition written by the mother of the little girl, Mrs Zainab
Rodemade and addressed to the deputy commissioner of police, state CID, a
copy of which was made available city people. The whole saga began when
the girl returned from school on a Thursday afternoon.Continue to read

school as usual and I decided to bath her at about 8.20p.m I noticed she
cried when I was about washing her private part pointing finger
private part which arose my interest to find out why. The petition read
in part: And they stated further that it was their daughter who
explained her aunt favour inserted pencil into her private part in their
school toilet and also asked her to demonstrate how her aunt did it
which she did. The disturbed mu further stated in her petition, I took
it upon myself to report to the head teacher of the school the next day
22nd June 2012. The head teacher called the said aunt favour and 2 other
female teachers for my daughter to identify the person who used pencil
on her private part surprisingly she still pointed to the same aunt
favour.

My
husband and I decided to report the case to the police at Isheri police
station where we were given a letter to go to the general hospital,
Ikeja. We were reliably informed that my daughter has been defiled
already as a result of that pencil the aunt used on her. I am highly
disturbed and devastated as a mother when IPO in charge of the case and
his boss informed me on 27th June 2012 that we should settle the case
that they cannot go further again. This was to our greatest surprise.
The petition ended on a pleading note to the deputy commissioner of
police. Sir on this note, I will be glad if you can use your good office
to call for this case and discreetly probe into it so as to serve as
deterrent to other teachers and other out there because I learnt the
menace is a common practice in this very school which could be stopped
forthwith as many babies have lost their virginity through this means in
the same school for spiritual purpose.

A
copy of the medical report from Lagos state university teaching
hospital Ikeja, confirmed that the little girl had been defiled was also
made available to us. Meanwhile ,there was an interesting part angle to
the story when the father of the allegedly assaulted baby, Alhaji
Rodemade, recounted to city people that he was not around when the
incident happened and on his return from far away Ekiti state where he
had gone for his business, he took it upon himself to the root of the
matter. And in so doing, he went to the school and asked to see the
class teacher that molested his daughter, and the head teacher, Mr
Sunmola whom he approached pointedly told him that the teacher was not
in the school. But out of rage, he grabbed the 2 teachers standing close
tightly by their clothes that he won’t leave them alone until they
produce the wanted teacher. Alhaji Rodemade added that was the time they
went to fetch the wanted teacher who was hiding behind the school. And
he concluded that the school might be a party to the crime which is the
only possible reason they were shielding the culprit from
him.

The
husband to the proprietress of the school, Mr Olaiya, had earlier
approached in person at the Isheri Police station where the case was
before it was transferred to Panti that he should let them settle the
case between them and that he(the husband to the proprietress) was
willing to give him any amount he wanted which he blatantly
rebuffed.

And
on the Saturday, that followed the Friday on which he went to demand to
see the teacher the teacher that molested his daughter, a detachment of
police from CID came banging at his gate early in the morning and on
enquiry, he was told they wanted to arrest him for a reported case of
harassment at ivy nursery and primary school with thugs which came to
him as a strange accusation since he went to the school alone out of
rage as a concerned
father.

He said he made some calls to some
people who advised him to follow the policemen and on getting to their
station, they deliberately took him round to see how criminals were
being tortured inhumanly, apparently to scare him into dropping the case
he was fighting against the
school.

He
further stated that they never knew he is not a small fry like they
thought and after making a call to a top rank police officer who spoke
with the DOP at the police station, he was asked to go home after
writing his statement. A ritual angle was suspected about the matter
given a high degree of credence because the little girl also recounted
the blood that came out of her private part was dabbed with a white
cloth by the teacher. And since the owners of the school were doing
everything to kill the matter instead of exposing and making the teacher
face the music, the teacher might just be their agent with the mission
to get blood of virgin girls for ritual
purposes.

When we visited state CID at
Panti on Monday, July 2nd, it was confirmed that the case had been
instituted at the station and also witnessed interrogation by the Deputy
Commissioner of Police of the parties involved in the case at his
office which was discreetly observed by this reporter. The parties
include the father and mother of the assaulted girl, the girl herself
the suspect, Miss Oruma Patience, the school head teacher, Mr Sunmola,
the husband to the proprietress, Mr Olaiya, and the lawyer, Bar. Emeka
okumah, and few other plain cloth police
officers.

The
proprietress of the school Mrs Olaiya was conspicuously absent. And
during the interrogation the same scenario of the little girl pointing
to the petite and fear –stricken teacher as the one that merced through
her private part with a pencil. The teacher denied allegations, in spite
of all the indicators to the contrary. As at the time of filing this
report, police were still carrying out further investigation into the
matter.
