Suspect sneaked in, didn’t abduct pupil ─ Lagos school

The-suspect-
Authorities of the Maryland Convent Private School in the Maryland area of Lagos say a suspect, who was reported to have sneaked into the school premises, did not abduct any pupil before he was arrested by the police.

The school added that its premises were usually closely monitored, adding that it handed over the case to the police when it realised that the suspect was mentally unstable and had strayed into the school.

According to punch report, on Wednesday, October 21, that a middle-aged man was caught allegedly abducting a pupil in the school.

It was also reported that policemen from the Anthony division later arrived to whisk the suspect away.

The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joe Offor, had confirmed the suspect’s arrest.

On Thursday, the school Head Teacher, Rev. Sister Gladys Osagie, told PUNCH Metro that the suspect did not abduct any pupil before he was taken away by the police.

She said, “On that fateful day, this young man was found in the compound. He was around the Nursery section at about 6.15am. He was seen by one of the security men moving around, and they suspected him because he was not focused. So, the security man followed him at a distance and asked him what he wanted. He did not answer.

“At that time, parents had started dropping their children. At that time, a man went to drop his child. When the parent was coming back, he saw the man opening the doors of his car. So, the parent raised the alarm. The security man quickly locked up the gates.

“So, we chained the man and at about 7am, I called one of the Parents-Teachers’ Association executive to call the police. Some policemen, accompanied by the DPO of Anthony division, took him away. We went to the police station and discovered a week later that he was a mental patient. That was the situation. The man was not holding any pupil, and he did not come into our compound by 8am.”

Our correspondent, who visited the Anthony Police Division, learnt that the suspect had since been returned to a psychiatric hospital in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, for treatment.
