The Delta state police command has arrested a 35-year-old teacher identified as Lori Tuoyo, who tried to defile one of his students.
According to reports, the suspect tried to defile his 6-year-old female student after school hours, on Friday, in Jakpa/Ekpan, Delta State.
Activist Israel Joe,said that the suspect had taken the girl to an empty classroom, undressed her, closed her mouth, removed his trouser and was already making efforts to penetrate her, when he heard some movements.
He dressed up and then warned the child not to tell anyone about the incident. However, the victim told her sister, who then reported to their mom and the school authority was informed.
When interrogated, Tuoyo admitted to the crime, but said he didn’t know what came over him. The DPO of Ekpan police division was subsequently notified and the teacher was arrested. .
However, his mother quickly ran to the station to beg for mercy revealing that Tuoyo had been battling with rape issues for long and had been taken to multiple prayer houses for deliverance to no avail.
She was, however, assured that her son will be thoroughly delivered when he gets to at the Okere High Prison.
