Police nabs school head teacher in Enugu for defiling 4 pupils

The long arm of the law has caught up with the head teacher of a migrant farmers’ children school located in Aguibeji, in Enugu Ezike for defiling four pupils.

After his arrest, the suspect identified as Nathaniel Idoko, 50, who hails from Mkpamteulo, a community in Enugu Ezike, in the Igboeze Local Government Area of Enugu State blamed the devil for his actions.

According to Mr Ebere Amaraizu, the spokesman for the Enugu State Police Command, the suspect was arrested on July 17, 2018, after it was reported that he took the pupils aged between five and six years old at different times into a bush, where he sexually assaulted them.

Mr Amaraizu said; “On July 17, 2018, Idoko defiled four schoolchildren in a bush near the migrant school.

“The head teacher, who is now begging for forgiveness and blaming the incident on Satan, allegedly used his fingers on the private parts of four female pupils and inflicted injuries on them.

“One of the victims opened up to her parents, leading to the arrest of the head teacher,” Amaraizu said.

Amaraizu added that Idoko told the police that he did not know why he did what he did.

“The headmaster, who claimed that he is a father of five, is saying that the wife is not happy with him and that he is now begging the wife, the parents of those children and God to forgive him,” Amaraizu said.
