» Police Arrests 8 Year Old Pupil For The Most Incredible Reason! «

Eight-year-old pupil of Prospect Primary School, Akute,
Ogun State, Oyindamola Onimole, has been detained by the
Ajuwon Police Division.
It was gathered that Oyindamola, who was held by the
police between 6pm on Wednesday and 12pm on Thursday,
was arrested by a policeman from the station for reporting
a teacher in the school, identified simply as Mrs. Oni, to his
mother.
PUNCH Metro learnt that Oni, who is the wife of one of the
policemen at the station, had maltreated Oyindamola at
school and the pupil reported her to his mother, Mrs.
Nimota Onimole, who subsequently stormed the school and
complained about the assault.
After the mother left, the teacher was said to have
descended on the child again for daring to report her to his
mother.
A source in the school said, “After school hours, the
teacher called her husband and he stormed the house of
the pupil and arrested the minor.
“When Mrs. Onimole (Nimota) returned from work about
10pm, neighbours told her about the ordeal of her son. She
left for the police station to ascertain what had happened.
The mother, who went to the police station to bail her
child, was also detained.”
Oyindamola’s father, Olalekan Omole, confirmed on
Thursday that his wife and son were detained by the
police.
He said, “At about 6.30pm, the teacher and her policeman
husband, went to our house and forcibly took my son. They
used okada (motorcycle) to pick my son.
“When my wife returned about 10pm and got to the station
around 10.30pm, requesting to get her child released, she
was equally detained at the station. All this happened
because of the influence of the teacher, whose husband
happened to be a policeman at the station.
“My two remaining children slept alone at home that night.
I had to consult a lot of people to wade in and get justice
for my family.
“But today (Thursday), at about 12pm, my son and my wife
were released by the police.”
Olalekan, who expressed outrage at the detention of the
minor, said he would contact his lawyer to take the matter
up.
Oyindamola’s father added that he had informed the school
proprietor about Mrs. Oni’s alleged misconduct.
When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer,
Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said he was not aware of the case, but
would investigate and get back to our correspondent.
But he had yet to get back to our correspondent as of
press time.
