A Music teacher of Great Lamptey Mills Institute, Gideon Nana Ofei Dodoo, 26, has been arrested by the police for allegedly defiling a nine-year-old pupil of the school.Police sources said a medical report had confirmed that the victim's private part had been dangerously tampered with.Dodoo was alleged to have gone into hiding since March 19, 2010 when the police started looking for him.He was, however, arrested last Thursday, after school authorities assisted the police to locate his house.The Tesano Divisional Police Commander, Chief Superintendent Emmanuel Bossoh, told the Daily Graphic that the suspect was alleged to have defiled the victim in November, 2009 but had warned her not to inform anyone about it.He said the victim claimed that Dodoo told her she would die, if she informed anyone about it.According to him, the victim said she had to endure the abuse in a toilet where Dodoo always had carnal knowledge of her.Chief Supt Bossoh said the girl claimed Dodoo would usually ask her to wait for everyone to leave or when the school was very quiet.He said the victim's mother, however, detected changes in the girl and upon interrogation, the girl informed her it was the Music teacher who had been sexually abusing her.Chief Supt. Bossoh said the victim's mother reported the matter to the police on March 19, 2010 and also indicated in her complaint that when she went to the school, the authorities allegedly wanted to "settle" her to keep the matter silent.At the time of filing this report, Chief Supt. Bossoh said the docket was to be referred to the Accra Regional office of the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) to take over the investigations.Source: Daily Graphic
