Teacher Remanded In Prison For Defiling, Impregnating 14-Year-Old Pupil

The Lagos state police command have arrested and arraigned
34-year-old, Quaseem Olayiwola, a teacher in a school in the state, for
allegedly defiling and impregnating his 14-year-old pupil in the state.

Police prosecutor, Inspector Donny Raphael, who brought Olayiwola
before the Ikeja Magistrate court on Thursday February 28th, said
he committed the indecent act between October 2018 and January 2019 in a
hotel. The father of the victim discovered his daughter was pregnant
and reported it to the police who then transferred the case to the
Gender Unit of the Lagos State Police Command in Ikeja for further
investigation.

He was subsequently arraigned in an Ikeja Magistrate’s Court sitting in Ogba on one count of defilement.

The charge against him read

“That you, Quaseem Olayiwola ‘M’, between October 2018 and January
2019 at Olubar Hotel C&S area, Ayobo, Lagos in the Lagos Magisterial
District, did unlawfully defile a 14-year-old girl by having
intercourse with her and impregnating her. You thereby committed an
offence punishable under Section 137 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State,
2015.”

The Chief Magistrate, Bola Osunsami, ordered that Olayiwola be
remanded in prison custody pending the outcome of legal advice from the
Directorate of Public Prosecutions on the matter.
