There was jubilation on Thursday at the Ogba Magistrates' Court, Lagos State, over the release of a schoolteacher, Adewale Bakare, who was accused of child abuse.

Among the inscriptions on their placards are ‘say no to weaponised rape accusations’, ‘Lagos State, we say no to statistics, yes to justice’, ‘False accusation is a crime’, ‘rape is not a joke, do not accuse people to score a point’, and ‘rescue the Arewa girl’.

“It is noteworthy that Mr. Arewa has accused collectively more than five male and female teachers and aides of defiling his two daughters since 2019. As we speak, we have a teacher sentenced to life imprisonment in Kirikiri for allegedly defiling one of the daughters whom we shall call Miss O,” Bakare’s lawyer, Toyin Taiwo-Ojo had said.

Arewa, however, denied the allegations, saying that the decision to conduct forensic interviews was ill-advised and precipitous.

The other teacher accused and sentenced to life imprisonment should have the case revisited. Something is not right at all. Mr. Arewa should be investigated.
