Choice the victim |
The four-year-old girl
identified only as Choice, revealed how she was allegedly raped by the
proprietor of her school, Mr. Elias Oyeke.
The little girl told a Punch correspondent that 42-year-old Oyeke, who is the
Proprietor of Victory International School, Mararba, Nasarawa State, raped her
on several occasions and then told her not to tell anyone or she would get into
trouble.
Choice, who is a nursery
one pupil, said Oyeke told her that if her parents found out that she had lost
her virginity, she should tell them that it was her male colleague who is also
four-years-old that was responsible.
The victim said,
“Uncle Elias
spread my legs, covered my mouth and told me to shut up. He will (sic) put me
on a chair and lap me and he will start doing it. He will (sic) then give me
sweets.”
The mother of the
victim, Esther, said she started suspecting something was amiss when her
daughter insisted that she would not allow anyone to bathe her sometime in
February.
Esther said one day, she
insisted that she would bathe her and that was when she discovered severe
injuries around Choice’s private parts.
She said her daughter
initially lied that it was her classmate, Gabriel, that forcefully penetrated
her and so she took her daughter to the school the next day.
While fighting back
tears, Esther said, “I usually dropped my daughter at school around between 7am
and 7.25am, before school resumed proper and I always handed her over to Mr.
Elias. However, after some time, my daughter started behaving strangely as she prevented
me from bathing her.
“I didn’t know that she was acting under the instructions of Elias. One day, I insisted that I must bathe her so I forced her legs open and while I was washing there, she started crying and screaming in pain.

“When her father got
back, I opened her private part and saw that it was wide and very red. I knew
that she could not have sustained such an injury at home so I took her to the
school the next morning to confront Mr. Elias. Elias began to shake but denied
knowledge of what happened.”
Esther said Elias urged
her not to tell anyone so as not to tarnish the image of his school and then
took them to a pharmacy.
Esther added, “On
getting to the pharmacy, we were told that it was impossible for a
four-year-old boy to do such damage to the girl’s private part. At the
pharmacy, I kept on asking my daughter who injured her but she would just look
at Elias and keep quiet.
“Then, I began to suspect that he knew something. I then took my daughter away
and asked her to tell me the truth. She finally confessed that it was the
school proprietor that had been raping her.
“Choice said Elias started by putting his fingers in her vagina. She said anytime it was time for break, Elias would take her to the school’s backyard, take off her pants, put her on a chair and start having sex with her. He usually gave her sweets. After doing it, he cleaned her up with a red handkerchief.”

It was learnt that the
victim was subsequently taken to two hospitals where it was confirmed that she
had been defiled.

use the medium to urge Parent to be very observant especially when it pertains
to their children and wards no amount of chasing the dream would sooth the pain
of both parent and child when such things happen. Meanwhile the proprietor
should be punished to serve as deterrents to animals like him.
