Principal absconds after allegedly defiling seven female pupils in Kwara
The principal of Hassanat Islamic College, identified simply as Prosper, has absconded after allegedly defiling seven female pupils around Tanke, in the Ilorin South Local Government Area of Kwara State.
Prosper, who had been allegedly defiling the pupils for a while, was said to have used his influence as the principal of the school to threaten them against informing anyone.
One of the pupils, who could no longer cope with the principal’s action, confided in one of the teachers of the school.
The teacher alongside other teachers of the school, commenced an investigation and were able to get other affected pupils to narrate their ordeals in his hands.
During the investigation which took place between April and July 2022, the voice notes and erotic WhatsApp messages that Prosper sent to these minors were obtained.
In some of the chats with the pupils on WhatsApp, Prosper wrote, “You are the sweetest lady I have ever go down and suck,” “When I dipped my tongue inside of you, how did you feel?” “Let’s f**k tomorrow morning baby, I know you are tired of your virginity.”
According to PUNCH, one of the teachers said investigation revealed that the principal allegedly also perpetrated the crime at one of the victim’s parent’s house.
The teacher said, “We got to know when one of the female students opened up to one of us in the first week of April. We knew innocent pupils should not be exposed to such sexual act at such a young age.
“But to get to the root of the matter, we knew it would take a lot of time. So, one of us started being friendly with a lot of female students and in the process some of them started giving the teacher access to their phones.
“They also showed the teacher WhatsApp messages and voice with the principal. The female students were close to the principal and we were able to get seven with evidence.
“From one of the messages we had, he (principal) even went to the house of one of the victims to sexually abuse her. But he mostly perpetrated the crime on the school premises.”
The teacher said the case was reported to the police but Prosper absconded after discovering about the internal investigation.
“When we confronted him with the allegations, he denied. But when we showed the facts, he admitted and promised to stop,”
Some of the pupils who were said to be within the age range of 14 and 16 had visited the nearest police station to make an official complaint against the fleeing principal.
Contacted, Prosper, who spoke from his hideouts said, “Sir, please forgive me. I’m an orphan; I am ashamed of myself and I don’t know what to do. I have left Ilorin because of this,” PUNCH reports.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Okasanmi Ajayi, who confirmed the incident said, “I have reached out to the Divisional Police Officer as regards this case. I was told two children made statements at the station. The investigation is ongoing.”
