Delta State Police Command has said it will prosecute the owner of a nursery and primary school for defiling a four-year-old girl.

The Delta Police spokesperson, DSP Bright Edafe, in a tweet on Thursday assured the public that justice will be carried out by the appropriate authorities.

Edafe gave this assurance while responding to a user on X @EverythingMai who reported the incident.

“The Area Commander just called 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,” he said.

“I will revert when I get the full update, but what I am assuring us is 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 X user earlier posted that the owner of Great leaders international school, Delta state raped a four-year-old girl and used scissors to tear her up so he can fit inside her.

She added that the little girl returned from school complaining to her moother that she was feeling pains.

According to her, the girl’s mother checked her and saw blood clots coming from the child’s vagina.

She added that the man’s lawyer is currently telling the mother that they should settle the matter within themselves. (The Guardian)
