Female Pupil Raped By Female Teacher in Lagos, Teacher absconds

The 27-year-old schoolmistress, Female
Teacher Violet Enu, who was apprehended and
granted bail by the police in Lagos for allegedly
defiling a four-year-old female pupil of Light
Bearers Private School, located at Isashi area of
the state, has reportedly absconded.
It was learnt that
the suspect, who
reportedly defiled one

of her pupils last
Thursday, fled after
the case was
transferred from
Badagry Magistrate’s
Court to Apapa Family
Court on Tuesday.
It was gathered that
when the victim’s
parents brought the matter to the
police station on
Wednesday, Enu did not turn up.
It was learnt that all attempts to trace the
suspect, who lives at Ogbeni Achike Street,
Isashi, Iba Council Development Area, by the
police proved abortive. Her surety is
also at large.
Meanwhile, the victim’s elder brother, who
attends the same school, was sent home and
prevented from attending the school’s extra-
moral classes on Tuesday because of the
incident.

According to the victim’s father, Chief Martins,
“in a bid to create an avenue for the suspect to
escape, the police referred the case to Badagry
Magistrate’s Court, when they knew that cases
bordering on defilement are usually heard at
family court.
“Otherwise how will a division not know that
Badagry Magistrate’s Court does not treat
defilement cases?
“We came back from Badagry Magistrate’s Court
at about 5p.m. on Tuesday, yet the police
connived with the suspect to escape.
“Sincerely, I do not understand the police’s
interest in the case and why they have been
persuading me to settle out of court without
actually investigating to find out the motive
behind the abuse.
“What if it was for rituals? They are sending
different lawyers to plead with me. Why are they
attempting to deny my four-year-old girl justice?
“The Police at Isashi Division have not done any
investigation on the case. The only thing they
followed is the Mirabel report, which proved
that my daughter was actually defiled.
“They granted the suspect bail and now she is missing. Her surety is also at large. I am calling on
the Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase,
and Lagos State Commissioner of Police,
Owoseni Fatai, to please intervene in the case.
