The police in Lagos have detained Mr. David, a security guard at Greater Scholars International School in Lekki, for allegedly raping a four-year-old student.

In a widely read tweet, Omolomo @TheVawulence said that the Greater Scholars student had been beaten, sexually assaulted, and warned not to tell anyone by the guard.

But the youngster told her father.

When the pupil’s father reported the incident to the authorities at the Ajiwe authorities Station, The Tweep said that he received threats from thugs.

The tweet reads;

The father of the girl went to report the case to the police but the owner of the school brought thugs to threaten him.

The child’s father had promised to call back, but as of the time of publication, he had not done so. As a result, attempts to contact the child’s parents were unsuccessful.

Meanwhile, the Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, stated that the suspect was in custody and a medical test had been conducted on the pupil.

He tweeted;
