A Twitter) user, Rich Aunty Amina about the alleged rape.

Amina said the suspect identified as the principal of the school “used scissors to tear her up so he can fit inside her!”

Amina further alleged, "She (the girl) came back from school complaining to her mom that she was feeling pains, the mom checked her and saw blood clots coming from the child's vagina!

"The man's lawyer is currently telling the mom that they should just settle her and her daughter."

Reacting to the post, the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bright Edafe, initially said that the police were not aware of the incident and that they were waiting for an official report from the family.

However, in an updated reaction to the matter, the police spokesperson said that the Area Commander in Agbor confirmed that the incident happened two weeks ago and that the suspect was arrested but he 9denied the allegation.

The PPRO said, “The Area Commander just called that this incident happened two weeks ago, though the owner of the school denied it, the Area Commander Agbor and not the Division is currently handling it.

“I will revert when I get the full update, but what I am assuring us is that justice will prevail.

“However, we should avoid settlement because these days parents especially from rural areas go behind the police and collect money from suspects thereby making prosecution very difficult.”
