Aisha Buhari hails FCT’s action over sexual assault on blind students

The Nigerian President’s wife, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, has lauded the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and its Permanent Secretary, Sir Christian Ohaa, over the indefinite suspension slammed on two teachers of the FCT School for the Blind, Jabi.
The teachers were allegedly accused of sexual molestation of some female blind students of the school.
Christian Ohaa, who made an unscheduled visit to the school following reports of sexual harassment of some female students by teachers, directed the immediate suspension of Mr. Ilo Chukwuma and Ebenezer Olateju, pending the conclusion of investigations into the matter.
He also directed that Chukwuma, who was accommodated in the school residential quarters, should vacate the school within the week, stressing that both teachers should stay clear of the school premises as investigations continue.
He directed the Director of Security Services in the FCTA Mr. Adamu Gwary to ensure full compliance and implementation of the directive.
According to him, “While we are working round the clock to give every physically challenged student the best of education, we cannot have incidences as this to mar our progress and achievements.”
Following the trending story, Mrs. Buhari, in her Twitter handle #Say No To Rape”, described the alleged action of the two teachers as disheartening.
She demanded justice to be served.
Her words: “This is disheartening; justice must be served, thanks to Permanent Secretary Federal Capital Territory (FCT) for swinging into action. Rape shouldn’t be taken lightly.”
