An Ibadan Chief Magistrate’s Court sitting in
Iyaganku on Tuesday discharged two corps
members charged with engaging in oral sex with
one of their male students.
The Chief Magistrate, Mrs. Kehinde Durosaro-
Tijani, said the two accused, Daniel O’ Tega and
Sulaiman Abari, were discharged but not on merit.
Durosaro-Tijani said, “This is based on the
withdrawal letter and affidavit deposed to by the
father of the victim.”
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that this
followed the withdrawal of the case by the
victim’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hammed
Sulaimon, of 65, Avenue Street, behind Grammar
School, Molete, Ibadan.
In the affidavit, father of the victim, said he had
forgiven one of the accused, Sulaiman, whose
father, Mr. Dauda Abari, intervened in the matter.
The father of the victim told the court that the
guardian of O’Tega, the other accused person, Mr.
Michael Edewhosa, also intervened in the matter.
Sulaiman, a graduate of Lagos State University,
Ojo, and O’tega were serving at St. Louis
Secondary School 2, Molete, Ibadan.
The prosecutor, Inspector Oluyemi Eyiaromi, had
told the court that the two accused persons
conspired to commit the offence.
Eyiaromi said O’tega took the male student to a
room, laid him on a bed, caressed and sucked his
manhood until he ejaculated.
He also said that Abari committed the same
offence on the victim in November 2013 at
Osungbade, Odo-Oba area of Ibadan.
Eyiaromi said the offences contravened sections
217 and 516 (A) of the Criminal Code Cap.38, Vol.
II, Laws of Oyo State, 2000.
