Police in Maiduguri, Borno State, have arrested a female teacher for allegedly assaulting a four-year-old primary school pupil in Maiduguri.
The teacher, identified as Aunty Zara working with Golden Olive school, in Maiduguri, the state capital, was said to have been arrested by the police last week.
Confirming the incident on Saturday, Sani Kamilu, Borno police spokesperson, said it was the victim’s father who reported the case to the police, adding that investigations into the incident have begun.
“The case is with the police and the teacher was arrested,” Shatambaya said.
“We are doing a thorough and objective investigation on the matter, and later refer it to court.”
Hassan Dala, the father of the victim, said he reported the case to the police when he noticed his daughter’s urine was reddish.
“Initially, I presumed it to be a symptom of infection. I took her to the hospital, and they told us what the problem was,” Dala said.
“When the mother asked her, the victim told us what the teacher did to her. The victim said that the teacher cuddled, gave her breasts to suck, and inserted a finger inside her private parts.”
