The Enugu police command says it has arrested three suspects in connection with the molestation of a three-year-old pupil in the state.

The suspects are the victim’s female teacher, bus attendant, and driver.

Daniel Ndukwe, spokesperson of the command, said the arrest was part of an ongoing investigation into the sexual molestation of the pupil.

The victim who is a pupil of Tenderlink School, Trans-Ekulu, Enugu, was found with injuries and patches of blood in her private part.

“Preliminary investigation proves that the child (name withheld) was found to have been sexually molested, with physical injuries and patches of blood observed on her private part after the school bus dropped her at home on Tuesday, November 14,” NAN quoted Ndukwe as saying.

“This is in addition to the receipt of similar complaints by parents of other children in the school.

“Three suspects, comprising the victim’s female teacher, the school’s bus attendant and driver have been arrested for interrogation.”

Ndukwe said Kanayo Uzuegbu, the commissioner of police, “appreciated the Enugu state government’s decision to shut down the school pending the conclusion of the investigation”.

The police spokesperson said anyone found guilty would face the full wrath of the law.
