A Chief Magistrates’ Court sitting in Osogbo, Osun State, heard the case of a driver of an unnamed private school who reportedly raped a 4-year-old pupil.

The school bus driver identified as Oluwatomisin Oyelakin reportedly dropped off the other pupils of the unnamed private school in his vehicle at their various homes and he was left with the victim whom he took advantage of.

Mrs Gbadamosi, the mother of the victim, said the suspect was arrested after her child was taken to the hospital where she was subjected to X-ray and scan which established that she had been raped.

According to Sergeant Temitope Fatoba, the police prosecutor, the offence committed by Oyelakin on Tuesday, January 15, 2019, is contrary to sections 360 and 218 of the Criminal Code Cap 34 Vol. 11, Laws of Osun State, 2003.

However, due to the nature of the offence of the accused who was arraigned on two counts of rape and assault, his plea was not taken.
