The police in Ekiti State have arrested a
57-year-old Vice-Principal of St. Mary Girls College, Ikole Ekiti, Mr.
Ayo Ajayi, for allegedly raping a 12-year-old pupil of the school inside
his office.
Our correspondent gathered that the pupil
had gone to the office of the vice-principal on March 18 and she did
not come out as quickly as expected. This was said to have fueled the
suspicion of some teachers.
One of the teachers, who reported the
case to the police, was said to have moved closer to the door to open
it
but discovered that the door had been locked from inside.
She was said to have knocked on the door
and the pupil and the suspect allegedly hurriedly stopped what they were
busy doing inside.
The demeanour of the VP and the pupil was said to have given them away and one of the teachers reported the case to the police.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr. Victor Babayemi, confirmed the incident in a statement on Tuesday.
He said the vice principal was arrested and investigation into the case had begun.
