A 31-year-old teacher accused of sexual assault has been arrested. According to sources, the teacher has been sodomizing pupils at Toi Primary School for some time before he was arrested.
On Tuesday, More than 500 pupils took to the streets in protest against the teacher before he was nabbed.
The incident came to the attention of teachers and parents over the weekend.
Hassan Ibrahim, a parent at the school, told the media that his son, a standard four pupil had been molested by the teacher.
He said that the pupil had tried to keep quite over the matter but the teacher persisted forcing him to speak out about his woes.
“The boy has been quiet about it all along. It is only that this time around the teacher hurt him badly. Blood and watery substance were oozing from his (victim's) anal region. He was unable to walk properly or go for a long call,” Ibrahim said.
Another parent said that the teacher has been committing the indecent act whenever the pupils leave school on Saturdays.
He noted that the children have been staying in school until late hours, giving the teacher a chance to sodomize them.
“On Saturdays, the pupils learn until lunch hour and then leave for home. The sodomy occurred after the other pupils had left for home,” another parent said.
