A 26-year-old year teacher, Mathew Adebayo, has been arrested by the operatives of Ogun Police Command for allegedly raping a 15-year-old student.
Adebayo, who teaches in a private school in the state, was arrested following a report by the proprietress of the school at Sango police station.

The Police spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi, in a statement on Friday in Abeokuta, said the complainant had told the police that she was informed by one of the students in the Senior Secondary 3 of the school that the suspect had been raping her repeatedly since the resumption of the school in preparation for the WAEC examination.
According to the police, the proprietress stated further that the teacher intimidated the victim by telling her that she will not pass the WAEC examinations if she failed to allow him have sex with her.
The Police said the randy teacher later had his way and always called the victim “out of the dormitory in the night and taking her to a classroom where he used to have carnal knowledge of her.”
“When the victim can no longer bear the sexual assault of the randy teacher, she decided to inform the proprietress,” the statement said.
Oyeyemi said following receipt of the report, the DPO Sango division, Csp Godwin Idehai, detailed his detectives to the scene where the suspect was promptly arrested.
He hinted that the suspect “has since then made a confessional statement admitting the commission of the crime.”
Oyeyemi said the victim had been taken to hospital for medical attention.
He added that the Commissioner of Police, Edward A. Ajogun, had ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to the Anti-human trafficking and child labor unit of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for further investigation and prosecution.
