A 20-year-old school teacher, Collins Obi has been arrested
by the Oyo State Police Command on Wednesday, for raping a 10-year-old boy in
Ibadan. The state Police Public Relations Officer, Adekunle Ajisebutu,
said the teacher committed sodomy on November 5, 2016, explaining that
apart from teaching in the school where the victim attended, he was also the
boy’s personal teacher.
Ajisebutu said, "The 20-year-old primary schoolteacher was
arrested for having anal intercourse with a 10-year-old boy. The suspect, who
was also a personal teacher of the victim, committed the unlawful act on
November 5, 2016.
"He lured the little boy to a house in the Asaka Itamaya
area of Ibadan where the offence was committed."
Ajisebutu said the arrest of the suspect was made possible
after the victim’s mother alerted the police at the Iyaganku Police Station,
Ibadan. He added that the victim would be charged to court immediately on the
order of the state Commissioner of Police, Samuel Adegbuyi.
He said, "Following the report made at the station by
victim’s mother after the boy narrated his ordeal to her, detectives from the
station arrested the suspect in his hideout. During interrogation, the suspect
confessed to the crime and disclosed that he was introduced to the act by an
older friend, who is now at large.
"The victim was taken to a hospital for medical attention.
The Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Samuel Adegbuyi, has directed immediate
arraignment of the suspect in court after completion of investigation by the
State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department. He also advised
parents and guardians to properly monitor their children or wards."
