A classroom teacher known as Zarah in a popular private school in Maiduguri has been arrested for fingering a five year old girl.
The suspect Fatmata security sources told us, is a divorcee in her mid thirties and one of the teachers of the primary section of Golden Olives Academy not far from the government house Maiduguri.
The suspected female teacher who succeeded in raping the little girl with her fingers had gone home after that fateful day 11th November thinking life goes on and the little girl will not tell her parents because she had been warned about doing so.
In the course of living her normal life at home, she went to ease herself when her father Hassan Baba who lives around the stadium area observed that his child had reddish colored urine instead of the normal.
A security source told this reporter that immediately the father observed the strange discharge he rushed his daughter to the Umaru Shehu hospital rape section to check if it was an infection since it was rare for minors to manifest blood at such an early age.
“On reaching the hospital, it was discovered that she had been penetrated. And on inquiries, she opened up that it was her class teacher that curdled her inside the dark of her hijabs to commit the havoc.
” My teacher Malama falmata kept me inside her hijab after school on that day and asked me to suck her breasts while sitting on her laps.

” While I sucked her breasts she used her fingers to penetrate my private part.” She had told her father who narrated the abomination to the human rights activists and security agents.
On discovery that his daughter was not ill afterwards but obviously violated, Hassan in conjunction with his neighbors quickly reported the matter to the police Division at GRA near the Government house where the matter was taken up for prosecution under the new rape law.

Head of the National Human Rights commission (NHRC) in Borno state, Barrister Jumai Meshelia in a chat Friday evening said they were aware of the matter and would surely do the needful to ensure that the suspect is prosecuted according to the violence against persons prosecution VAPP law.
She said that a minor of just 5 years of age should never be allowed to go through such kinds of physical or psychological injuries to her self.
Police spokesman Sani Shatambaya could not be reached as at the time of writing this report because he had traveled.
