The proprietor of Great Leaders International School, Agbor-Obi, Delta State has been arrested by the police in the state for allegedly raping a 4-year-old girl.
The incident was posted on X (formerly Twitter) by @Rich Aunty Amina, who condemned the act.
She wrote, “The owner of Great Leaders International School in Delta State raped a 4-year-old girl and used scissors to tear her up so he can fit inside her.
“She came back from school complaining to her mom that she was feeling pains, the mum checked her and saw blood clots coming from the child’s vagina. The man’s lawyer is currently telling the mom that they should just settle her and her daughter.”
Reacting to the post on his official X late Thursday, the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bright Edafe, said, “If you expect the police to go to the school and harass anybody, well, I am afraid to say it does not work that way.”

Some hours after he made his initial post, the PPRO, DSP Edafe in a follow up post, confirmed that the incident happened two weeks ago, stating that the suspect has been arrested.
He wrote, “The Area Commander just called me that this incident happened two weeks ago, though the owner of the school denied it, the Area Commander Agbor and not the division is currently handling it. I will revert when I get the full update.
“But I’m assuring us that justice will prevail. However, we should avoid settlement because these days, parents, especially, from rural areas, go behind the police and collect money from suspects, thereby making prosecution very difficult.
“The CP has directed the Area Commander to charge this case to court. They are presently in court as we speak.”
