How Teacher Allegedly Assua-lted 14-Year-Old Student | READ DETAILS

Justice Akeem Fashola of a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, sitting in Jabi, has issued a warrant of arrest against one lgoche Daniel Ada over his alleged ass-ault on a 14-year-old schoolgirl.

Igoche, a teacher at Destiny Christian Academy Airport Road FCT, Abuja, owned by Dunamis International Gospel Centre, was arrested at his apartment inside the church building in Lugbe and taken away in handcuffs for allegedly assa-ulting a school girl.

He was later on released on bail, however, the FCT Command of the Nigeria Police filed a criminal charge against him because he(the culprit) had refused to show up in court two consecutive times.

The prosecution counsel Mr John Ijagbemi told the court that,”The defendant has chosen to be absent in court for the second time since he was released on bail. He had been duly served with the charges. He is yet to be arraigned in court. The accused and his surety assured that they will be in court but we are surprised to note that he is not here. We are asking the court to issue an arrest warrant against him.”

in a short ruling, Justice Fashola issued an arrest on the defendant and thereafter adjourned the case to June 23, 2022.

The one-count criminal charge read: ”That you, lgoche Daniel Ada ‘m’ 39yrs, on or about 25/04/2021 at about 21:15 hrs at the school premises of Destiny Christian Academy Airport Road FCT, Abuja within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court did sexually harassed one Otuya Deborah Miracle aged 14yrs by touching and caressing her breast and other sexual parts, and you thereby committed an offence contrary to section 32 (1) and punishable under section 32 (2) of Child Right Act LFN 2003.”
