teachers for allegedly impregnating a secondary school girl was on
Wednesday confirmed to be a Personal Assistant to the Enugu State
Governor, Sullivan Chime.
Vanguard reporter gathered that the true identity of the man (names
withheld) was found in his Kia car impounded by the angry teachers.
The car was still lying at the premises of Metropolitan Girls
Secondary School located at Ogui New layout Enugu as at the time of
this report along with his Permanent Voters Card (PVC) and other
documents found in the car.
However, indication were rife that the powers that-be have intervened
and directed the officials of National Agency for Prohibition of
Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) presently handling the investigation
to soft pedal.
When Vanguard reporter visited the Enugu zonal office of NAPTIP
located at GRA in Enugu yesterday afternoon, a top female official of
the command who refused to disclose her identity said, "we don't
comment on cases being investigated, so no comment".
The suspect who was earlier mistaken for a local contractor was beaten
to pulp and stripped naked for allegedly impregnating an SS1 student
of the school.
The cat was let out of the bag when the victim suddenly slumped on the
ground during morning assembly on that fateful Wednesday bleeding
profusely. She later named the man responsible for the pregnancy.
He was therefore lured to the school where he was mobbed.
State Commissioner for Education, Professor Uche Okolo who earlier
confirmed the incident told reporters that "a man was apprehended. The
man defiled a girl. The girl got pregnant. The child was bleeding and
rushed to hospital. The school made a report to NAPTIP. The man came
to the school to take the girl and he was arrested. The good thing is
that he has been apprehended. He should go and face the law", he
added.
