A school headmaster identified as Nathaniel Idoko, has been arrested by the police in Enugu State for allegedly defiling four female pupils of the school

Idoko, 50, who hails from Mkpamteulo Enugu Ezike, Igboeze North Local Government Area of Enugu is the headmaster in charge of Migrant Farmers Children School, located in Aguibeji community, Enugu-Ezike.

He was said to have on July 17, this year cornered the four students, whose ages were given as between five and six years to a bush near the school and abused them sexually.

In a statement yesterday, the police in Enugu stated that the act occurred during school hours, adding that the suspect had allegedly “used his fingers on the private parts of the four female pupils, which inflicted serious injuries on them, making them to walk abnormally.”

The Public Relations Officer, Ebere Amaraizu, revealed that the atrocity by the headmaster came to the fore when one of the abused pupils told the ugly story to her parents.

“This led to the arrest of the headmaster who in response, regretted his act and blamed it on Satan. He said he did not know why he did what he did, adding that he has seen that he did not achieve anything doing what he did,” Amaraizu said.

Amaraizu, who explained that the headmaster is a married man, added that he has now resorted to begging for forgiveness. On whether he has been doing that with other pupils before now, the headmaster declared that it was his first time, adding that there was no motive behind it.

The four victims involved are being treated by doctors at the police medical unit of the Enugu State command, as investigations have commenced into the matter.

The police said the headmaster would be arraigned in court on the conclusion of investigations.
