Ogun State Police Command has
arrested a private school teacher, Matthew Sodeke, for alleged child
abuse in Igbala community in the Sango Ota area of the state. Sodeke, an English Language teacher, was caught sucking the private parts of a male pupil. The teacher was reportedly caught by a parent who had come to pick his child in the school.
It gathered that the
teacher allegedly sexually assaulted the 16-year-old boy, identified
only as Ajala, in one of the offices of the school after closing hours.
On Tuesday, July 12, around 4pm, Sodeke was said to have called the pupil upstairs into one of the offices. It was learnt that Sodeke allegedly
instructed the boy to remove his trousers, after which the teacher
allegedly began to suck the boy’s private parts.
A yet-to-be-identified parent, who
reportedly came to check her child in the school, was said to have
caught the duo and raised the alarm.
The matter was thereafter reported at the Sango Police Division, and Sodeke was arrested.
A parent, identified only as Shokoya, who
claimed to be a witness, said the teacher was beaten up by a mob before
he was taken to the police station. Shokoya added that the pupil confessed that his private parts had been sucked by the teacher on several occasions.
She said, “The teacher was caught while
molesting the boy after school hours. He could not deny it because he
was caught in the act.
“After a parent had raised the alarm,
other parents and youths descended on the teacher and beat him to a
pulp. He was thereafter handed over to the police at the Sango division.
“The teacher said he was formerly living
with his brother, a pastor, who later sent him out when he (the pastor)
caught him sucking a neighbour’s private parts.
“When the pupil was also interviewed, he
confessed that it was not the first time the teacher would molest him.
He said the teacher warned him not to disclose the act to anyone.”
