An Abuja schoolboy has been remanded in prison custody for sodomy, as confirmed by Nigeria’s Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu. The Minister of Education who presented a committee report on the sexual abuse at the School for the Deaf in Kuje, Abuja, on Tuesday, said a schoolboy identified as Sani Filo, had been remanded in prison.
According
to him, Filo was prosecuted and remanded at the Keffi Prison in
Nasarawa State, after his confessional statement revealed that he
sodomised another boy, Muhammad Kanun, at the school. A committee was
set up by the Minister, after he received a petition from Kanun’s
mother, Hannatu, in January 2018. They recommended that “a Closed
Circuit Television Camera should be installed in all special schools to
help in monitoring events in those places”
