A 31-year-old serving NYSC member and teacher at a private school off Jakpa Road in Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State has been arrested and charged to court over the alleged sexual abuse of a six-year-old girl.
The child, while being questioned, claimed that the corps member took her to his apartment within the school premises on three occasions when her mother arrived late to pick her up from school and sexually abused her.
She also alleged that the suspect threatened to beat her and deny the incident if she told her mother.
In a video shared online, the girl narrated that the corps member took her to his room when nobody else was around and sexually abused her.
She said the incident occurred in his room after he dragged her there, adding that all her classmates had already left the school at the time.
The girl further stated that her mother had not arrived to pick her up, while her class teacher was also not around when the incident allegedly occurred.
She claimed that after the alleged act, the corps member used a white handkerchief to clean blood from her private part.
A medical examination allegedly showed that the child’s hymen was broken.
A Delta-based activist who took up the case said the suspect was arraigned before High Court 1, Effurun, and remanded at the Warri Prison, Okere.
The case was adjourned until September 18, 2026, pending the advice of the Director of Public Prosecutions, DPP.
