The State Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Department (State CID) Enugu’s Deputy Commissioner of Police has been directed by CP Kanayo Uzuegbu, the Commissioner of Police for the Enugu State Command, to conduct a comprehensive investigation and guarantee the prosecution of all those implicated in the alleged sexual molestation of a three-year-old female student at Tenderlink School Trans-Ekulu, Enugu.

 

Yesterday, November 17, a statement issued by DSP Daniel Ndukwe, the command spokesperson, reads as follows:

 

 

‘’a preliminary investigation proves that the child (names withheld) was found to have been sexually molested, with physical injuries and patches of blood observed on her private part, after the school’s bus dropped her at home on Tuesday, November 14, 2023. This is in addition to the receipt of similar complaints by parents of other children at the school. Three (3) suspects, comprising the victim’s female teacher, the school’s bus attendant and driver, have been arrested for interrogation.”’

 

Ndukwe added that the state Police Commissioner describes the act as unthinkable and wonders why the school’s authority and teachers would allow such to happen to the toddler they are supposed to tutor and protect from such an ungodly act.

‘’He appreciates the Enugu State Government’s decision to shut down the school pending the conclusion of the investigation while vowing to ensure that everyone found culpable faces the full wrath of the law,” Ndukwe added
