A s*x-starved Togolese man working as a
security guard in Lagos State has been caught red-handed defiling a
primary school pupil.
A 60-year-old Togolese man, Sabi Burno who works as a security man has
been arrested by the police after he was caught red-handed having s*x
with three primary school pupils in a container on Ibikunle Akintoye
Street.
The three victims, identified simply as Mistura, Yinka and Mary, had reportedly been admitted to the hospital for medical tests after incident.
According to a report by Punch, while Mistura and Yinka attend Methodist Primary School, Randle, Apapa, Mary is a pupil of United Christian Primary School. The two schools are in the same community.
The Togolese’s container-apartment is on an abandoned plot of land. The victims pass through the place to go to school every morning. It was gathered that Mistura, who lives with her grandmother, had, while going to school on Thursday, gone into the container around 8am.
A landlord, whose house is beside the abandoned land, said he had observed her loitering in front of the container.
He said, “A hotel was on that land before it was demolished. The new owner asked the Togolese to guard it. The man put a container on the land, where he sleeps.
“He has been taking advantage of the girls since he got there about a year ago and I think no one suspected anything.
“But this morning, around 8am, I was in my house when I saw this girl, who was supposed to be in school, loitering in front of the container. She was in her school uniform.
“Not up to three minutes, the Togolese asked the girl to go in, while pretending to be sweeping. Within a few minutes, he also went in and shut the door.”
The landlord, who did not want to be identified, said he rushed to Methodist Primary School to report the incident. The school’s head teacher sent a teacher with the landlord to the scene.
It was learnt that Burno was caught in the act and was held by the teacher.
“A crowd quickly gathered and I alerted policemen from the Apapa Police Station, who responded swiftly. The girl was taken to her school and some female teachers checked her private parts and found semen,” the landlord added.
During interrogation, Mistura confessed that it was not the first time that the security guard slept with her. She was said to have mentioned the names of her two friends whom the Togolese had been sexually assaulting as well.
Teachers at the school reportedly invited Yinka and Mary for questioning, and they confessed that the suspect had been defiling them as well.
“Yinka said the man had slept with her for more than 10 times. The other girl said he had slept with her twice,” the landlord said.
The victims are now at the General hospital undergoing treatment.
A teacher at Methodist Primary School, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed the incident.
She said the pupils were noted for lateness, adding that the authorities did not suspect such a thing was going on.
“But the incident happened outside the school; it has nothing to do with the school,” she said.
The Director of the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team, Lola Vivour-Adeniyi, said the head teacher of the Methodist school informed the agency about Mistura’s case.
She said, “The head teacher informed us and we advised that she should take the child to a primary health care centre, where she can receive proper sexual assault treatment. We are also liaising with the police and have requested a duplicate case file for the Directorate of Public Prosecutions.”
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Olarinde Famous-Cole, said the Togolese denied defiling the pupils.
He said, “The man said he did not have sexual intercourse with them, but he may have touched them indecently. Nobody has been there to prove whether it is true or not. There is currently an examination being done for all those involved. The suspect is in police custody and we are trying to establish a case of either child abuse or indecent assault based on the girls’ statements.”
