The First Lady of Nigeria, Aisha
Buhari has reacted to report of two teachers who have been suspended for
allegedly molesting blind students.
The Incident was reported to have
occurred at FCT School for the Blind, Jabi.
The Permanent Secretary of the
FCT, Mr Chinyeaka Ohaa, paid an unexpected visit to the school on Wednesday and
ensured the two teachers involved, Mr. Ilo Chukwuma and Ebenezer Olateju got
suspended, pending the conclusion of investigation.
Reacting to the rape incident on
her verified Instagram account, the First Lady called for justice to be served
and also thanked the Permanent Secretary of the FCT for swinging into action
almost immediately.
She wrote: “This is
disheartening, Justice must be served, thanks to Perm Sec FCT for swinging into
action, rape shouldn’t be taken lightly.”
The FCTA Chief Press Secretary,
Anthony Ogunleye, in a statement, said Ohaa further directed the Director of
Security Services in the FCTA, Mr Adamu Gwary, to ensure full compliance and
implementation of the directive.
On why the teachers were
suspended instead of being dismissed immediately, Ohaa noted, “We want to be
fair and follow due process. So, we will allow the committee do its work and
report by next week.
“But let me assure parents that
anyone found culpable in any of the incidents, not only in this school, will be
dismissed and prosecuted. Our teachers, like Caesar’s wife, must be above
board.”
He expressed disgust over the
actions of the accused teachers as he listened to victims narrate their ordeal,
lamenting that teachers, who were supposed to be protectors, were now the
students’ nightmare.
