‘My Teacher Forced Me To Perform Oral Sex For Marks’
An 18-year-old female pupil, Mary (not real name), of Fazir-I-Omar Senior High School in Iwaya area of Yaba, Lagos State, has narrated how one of her male teachers allegedly made her to perform oral sex on him in order to pass his subject.
Mary, who is from Abia State and resides in Makoko, said she had barely spent a month at the school when the teacher allegedly asked her to give him oral sex in exchange for a good grade.
The victim, a Senior Secondary School II student, narrated to newsmen how, on two different occasions, she succumbed to pressure and how the teacher allegedly further demanded for sex if she wanted to pass the subject he teaches.
Mary, who looked devastated when our reporter visited her at her mother’s one-room apartment in Makoko, said the first time she gave the teacher oral sex was when she was 16 years old and in SS1, while the second time was when she was in SS2.
She said, “When I first got to Fazir-I-Omar Senior High School in 2016, I was in SS1. The teacher was the first to come to my class. He is feared by many of us.
“I was seated in the second seat in the third row in a class of about 100 pupils. Anytime he was teaching, he would throw a marker at anyone of us to answer a quiz.”
Mary said one day, the teacher threw the marker at her but that, as she couldn’t answer the question, he flogged her with a cane.
Afterwards, Mary alleged, the teacher told them that the syllabus for the first term was voluminous and that each student must pay N30 each for him to make photocopies for them.
The teacher was also said to have chosen Mary to be in charge of collecting the money and accounting for the names of pupils who had paid, after which he would make the photocopies and give her to distribute to her classmates.
Mary said during her second term in SS1, she stopped going to the teacher’s office for counsel because some classmates had started accusing her of flirting with him.
She said, “But one day, he called me and asked why I wasn’t coming to his office anymore. He accused me of following bad friends and I responded it wasn’t so.
“I started going to his office again and on a certain day, he asked how many men had slept with me and I told him I wasn’t a virgin. However, I did not tell him that I have been raped thrice before.
“The first time was when I was in the village in Abia State; the second time was in Ibadan; and the third time was in Lagos.”
Mary said the teacher told her that he was going to discuss something important with her the following day. When she got there on the said day, the teacher was busy and asked her to come back.
She added, “He asked me to stay in his office, saying he was still busy. He said I should wait. I waited until around 3.30pm, our closing time. My friends were waiting for me so that we could go home, but he asked them to all go home because he wanted to discuss something important with me.
“He then asked about my family and I told him. I told him my father was deceased and that my mother sold groundnuts. He said I shouldn’t bother my mother with any responsibility and that he was going to help me to graduate in flying colours in exchange for sex.”
Mary said, “He asked if I was wearing underwear that day. I said yes. He said I should go to the toilet and remove it, put it inside my bag and return to his office. Thankfully that day, a female teacher came to his office and I quickly ran out of the school premises.
“The following day, he was cross with me. He asked that I see him later in the day, but I said I wanted to take care of my mother, that she was sick and needed care. He said I was giving him excuses. He said I should never think I could deceive him.”
Mary narrated that later that day, she was again called to the teacher’s office as no lesson was going on in her class. When she got there, he allegedly ordered her to bring an item out of a cupboard in his office.
She said, “As I got to the cupboard, he stood next to me, unzipped, and ordered me to suck his manhood. I was forced to do it.
“After I did, he said he wanted to have sex with me. I refused. He said I was too scared. However, I passed his subject that term.”

Rivers DPOs Receive Awards For Outstanding Performance In Crime Prevention …As Students, Media Group Honour CSP Worgu, CSP Yusuf
The beneficiaries are the DPO of Afam Police Division, CSP Endurance Worgu and his counterpart at Oyigbo Police Division, CSP Bello Yusuf.
CSP Worgu was honoured by a group of students under the aegis of Rivers State Graduate Students Associations for what they described as his commitment and outstanding performance in the discharge of his duties.
The students, led by Chidi John Enyie, Esq. said CSP Worgu was selected based on his track record and status as one of the longest-serving young DPOs of Rivers State origin.
According to the group, CSP Worgu has made significant contributions to the protection of lives and property in the area since assuming office following the #EndSARS period.
The students said they were particularly impressed by the improvement in community-police relations under his leadership, noting that professionalism had remained a key feature of his service.
Enyie represented by Comrade Briggs Soku, said the students community was pleased to identify with a Rivers indigene who had distinguished himself in the police force.
He said the students considered it necessary to encourage and celebrate CSP Worgu because of his achievements as a young Rivers man excelling in a profession that many people from the state were often reluctant to join.
Receiving the award at his office in Afam, CSP Worgu expressed gratitude to God and the students for finding him worthy of the honour.
The DPO said the recognition had boosted his morale and encouraged him to sustain his efforts towards maintaining peace and security in the area.
He said he least expected the honour, particularly because it came from the students, adding that the recognition would further motivate him to serve the people better.
CSP Worgu assured residents of Afam that the police would sustain the existing peace in the area.
He appealed to members of the public to support the police by providing credible and timely information, stressing that useful information from residents would make the job of security personnel easier.
Meanwhile, the Ikwerre/Etche Media Association has also honoured the DPO of Oyigbo Police Division, CSP Bello Yusuf, for his efforts in tackling criminal activities in the area.
The media group presented the award following the swift tracking and arrest of five suspected kidnappers who had allegedly terrorised residents of the Kom-Kom axis and other parts of Oyigbo.
The group commended CSP Bello for what it described as his determined efforts to restore confidence and security in the affected communities, particularly Kom-Kom and Obeama.
According to the group, the arrest of the suspects demonstrated the DPO’s commitment to tackling criminality and safeguarding residents.
The media association said residents had received the development with relief, noting that the police action had sent a strong message to criminal elements operating in the area.
Responding, CSP Yusuf appreciated the group for the recognition and reaffirmed that there would be no room for criminality in Oyigbo.
He also commended the media for its role in disseminating credible information to the public, saying the media had remained supportive of the police in the fight against crime.
CSP Yusuf warned criminal elements operating in Oyigbo to leave the area or be prepared to face the full weight of the law.
He assured residents that the police would continue to pursue criminals and work to dismantle their hideouts, regardless of where they might be operating.
International President of the forum, Archbishop Lucky Aroh, disclosed this during the ordination and consecration of three new Bishops, as well as an award ceremony held in Port Harcourt.
Aroh said the performance of the APC-led Federal Government had endeared the party to the organisation, prompting the forum to declare its support for President Tinubu and other APC candidates in Rivers State.
He said the forum would support all APC candidates in the state during the 2027 elections and urged Nigerians to vote for the party.
Aroh, who is also the General Overseer of Caring Peoples Church, Port Harcourt, charged the newly consecrated Bishops to see their new positions as a great responsibility and dedicate themselves to the advancement of the kingdom of God.
He cautioned them against conduct capable of bringing their offices into disrepute, stressing that their activities would be closely watched by members of the public.
“As Bishops, the eyes of the public are on your activities. You must therefore conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of your calling,” he said.
Also speaking, the International Coordinator of the forum, Bishop Saint Robinson, urged the newly consecrated Bishops to work diligently towards winning souls for the kingdom of God.
Robinson, who was the guest speaker at the event, stressed that the activities of Bishops must at all times be guided by godly principles.
He also called on members of the church to support and cooperate with the newly consecrated Bishops in the discharge of their responsibilities.
The Secretary of the College, Apostle Elizabeth Ayadi Abaye, said the organisation was established to advance the kingdom of God and promote spiritual development.
According to her, the forum has organised several crusades, conferences, prayer meetings, ordinations, consecrations, enthronements, empowerment programmes and other spiritual development activities across the country as part of efforts to win souls for Christ.
Abaye said the organisation has members across the world and disclosed that more programmes had been scheduled to promote the spiritual development and wellbeing of humanity.
The three Bishops consecrated at the ceremony were Prince Alban Chike, Testimony Omenihu Shedrach and Prince Ifemena.
Among those honoured at the event were the Chairman of the Community Development Committee (CDC), Abali Community, Port Harcourt City Local Government Area, Manuchimso Prince Lemmy Wopara, and Clifford Oko Jaja, Coordinator of the 5,000 House-to-House for President Tinubu.
