Prosecuting counsel, Badamasi Gandu, told the court that the children’s mother first noticed one of the girls bleeding and, after questioning them, all four alleged they were sexually abused by their teacher.

He further stated that medical reports confirmed the minors had been sexually assaulted prior to the suspect’s arraignment.

The magistrate subsequently ordered that the defendant be remanded in custody and adjourned the case until June 6 for further hearing.
