The Executive Chairman of Ungogo Local Government Area, Alhaji Tijjani Amiru Binyaminu (Khadimul Ummah), has ordered the immediate closure of Al-Hadeed Private School in Inusawa town until further notice.
This decision follows allegations of abuse and sexual molestation involving four female pupils of the school, allegedly committed by one of their teachers. The chairman emphasized that the Local Government Council under his leadership remains fully committed to ensuring justice for these children by seeing that the accused teacher is punished according to the law, following his arraignment.
The teacher, identified simply as Kamal, was arraigned before a magistrate's court on Monday for sexually abusing minors. The victims are all siblings: 7-year-old Hassana, Hussaina, Gambo, and their 5-year-old sister. Prosecution counsel Badamasi Gandu informed the court that doctors have confirmed the children were sexually assaulted before the suspect was brought to court.
The teacher was remanded in a correctional facility, and the case has been adjourned to June 6.
