A 38-year-old teacher, Abubakar Muhammed, has landed in trouble for allegedly defiling four pupils inside the school premises in Gombe State.
P.M.EXPRESS reports he has been arrested by the Police operatives from the Gombe State Command and detained for investigation for the alleged conduct.
The incident happened at Islamiyya School, located at Malam-inna Quarters in Gombe, where the suspect, Muhammed, was employed as a teacher in the community.
The pupils, aged 8, 9, 12 and 14 years respectively are sisters from the same father as was disclosed by the Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mahid Abubakar.
The Police however, did not state how the suspect defiled the victims inside the school premises but stated that the suspect, Abubakar Muhammed, was arrested for the alleged sexual assault on 7th March, 2023, at about 11am, following complaints from the pupils’ father, Adamu Ali.
The father reported to the Police that the alleged sexual assault on his children was committed between January and March, 2023 before the victims eventually revealed what happened to them to him.
“The suspect who resides in Malam-inna quarters, Gombe committed the offence at the Islamiyya School located in the same community.”
The victims were taken to the hospital for medical examination,” the spokesman said.
Supol Abubakar further stated that the suspect, who was detained in Police custody, had confessed to the crime and would soon be charged to Court for prosecution after the conclusion of investigations by the Police.
The suspect may likely be charged for defilement, which attracts several years of imprisonment if he is tried and found guilty before the Court.
