SHAME!! 55 Year Old Head Teacher Defiles Pupil


A 55-year-old head teacher, Akpolagha Agbugiye at Akaba, near Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, has been arraigned by the police for allegedly inserting his fingers in the private part of an eightyear- old pupil.

The prosecuting officer, Inspector Roselyn Doctor, told Magistrates’ Court 1 sitting in Yenagoa, presided over by Patricia Edouyemiekumo that the accused had, on May 3, summoned his victim to the back of the school building and ordered her to ‘pick a pin’ which is a form of punishment used in some schools in the state.

She said: “The accused asked the classmate of the victim to call her for him. When the two girls met him at the back of the school building, he asked the other girl to leave.

“The headmaster then asked the pupil to pick pin which the girl obeyed. At this point he pulled the girl’s pant and inserted his fingers into her private part.”

Doctor said the victim limped home and reported the incident to her mother.

According to her, the pupil was later taken for medical examination at the Federal Medical Centre, FMC, Yenagoa.

The prosecutor said the doctor who conducted the examination confirmed that the girl had been defiled, prompting the arrest of the accused.

She told the court that Agbugiye’s action was a criminal offence, which was an unlawful and indecent assault punishable under Section 146(2) of the Criminal Code Law of Bayelsa State, 2006.

Agbugiye pleaded not guilty to the charge and was granted bail with the sum of N100,000 and two sureties residing in the state capital.

The matter was adjourned till June 13 for further hearing.
