The Juaso Circuit Court, presided over by Mr. Fredrick Tetteh, has sentenced a teacher standing trial for defiling a school girl to 13 years imprisonment.<\/p>\n
Shaibu Iddi, a 27 year-old university graduate, before the ruling, had pleaded with the judge to \u201ctamper justice with mercy\u201d and pardon him.<\/p>\n
Mr. Tetteh was however unmoved by his plea, explaining that as\u00a0a teacher it was expected that he would be a good example not only to the children he was teaching, but other residents in the community.<\/p>\n
Chief Inspector Dennis Nana Duku told the court that Iddi lived in the same vicinity with the 10-year- old victim and her parents at Juaso.<\/p>\n
Sometime in September this year, he lured the little girl and her friend into his room and defiled the her after asking her friend to buy him banana.<\/p>\n
He further warned her not disclose what ensued between them to anyone.<\/p>\n
The victim did, as she was instructed until October 1, when she fell ill and was forced to recount her story to her mother.<\/p>\n
A formal report was made to the Police and Iddi, who had gone into hiding was tracked down and arrested on Friday, November 20.<\/p>\n
