A mother in Lagos has demanded that the teacher who allegedly sodomized her 10-year-old son be arrested and face legal consequences. The mother, who spoke to the press, expressed outrage over the incident, which she claims occurred during school hours. She revealed that her son, initially too afraid to speak about the abuse, later confided in her after she noticed behavioral changes in him. The mother confirmed that the abuse took place at the school where her son was enrolled, and she is now calling for the teacher to be prosecuted and jailed.
The Lagos State Police have confirmed that an investigation into the matter is ongoing.Authorities stated that the teacher has been arrested and is currently in custody while evidence is being gathered. A police spokesperson emphasized that the case is being treated with the highest priority, and the law will take its course.”We are fully committed to ensuring that justice is served in this matter,” the spokesperson stated.
In response to the allegations, the school where the teacher is employed has suspended the accused individual pending the investigation. The institution has yet to release an official statement regarding the incident, but sources indicate that it is cooperating with the authorities. However, the mother of the victim has expressed dissatisfaction with the school’s response, claiming that the abuse should have been detected earlier. She urged the authorities to investigate the school’s procedures and its handling of such serious allegations.
The incident has sparked public outrage, with parents and community members calling for stricter measures to safeguard children in schools.
Many have questioned how such an act could occur under the watch of school authorities, urging for a more thorough vetting process for teachers and better oversight in educational institutions.

The mother, in a statement, vowed to fight for justice for her son, who is reportedly receiving counseling to help him cope with the trauma. She expressed her determination to ensure that the teacher faces the fulle of the law.
