The police in Lagos State, Southwest, Nigeria
have arrested a private school bus driver for
allegedly killing a 16-year old girl for
refusing to allow him have sex with her
inside a school bus.
The driver, identified as Godwin Etute,
allegedly murdered the teenager called Tolu
Gbadamosi, dumped her by the road side
and drove off.
The 26-year old suspect was arrested by the
police at Ikotun Division on a tip-off by
someone who saw him when he dumped
the victim and drove off.
The incident happened at Egbe in Alimosho
area of Lagos State where both worked in a
popular private school (name withheld).
We gathered that Etute was employed
as the school bus driver, while the late
Gbadamosi also worked as auxiliary teacher
who also assisted the driver to take school
children with the bus to and from school.
Sources said her problem started when
Etute attempted to woo her to have sex with
him several times but she refused and told
him that he had not tried sex with any man.
She insisted that she can only do that when
she gets married.
She reported her encounter with Etute to
her mom and few of her friends.
It was gathered that on the day of the
incident, Etute drove the school bus to pick
children to the school with Gbadamosi in
the morning.
While only two of them were in the bus as
they set out to pick the pupils, he alleged
parked the bus by the roadside and
attempted to forcefully have sex with the
victim inside the school bus.
“When she refused, he grabbed her and
tore her underwear, but the girl resisted
him. And Etute started beating her,” an
eyewitness said.
In anger, Etute allegedly brought out a
screw driver and stabbed Tolu. She
collapsed and died inside the school bus.
The police were later contacted and they
arrested Etute.
The incident has thrown the management
of the school and the family of the deceased
into mourning.
When visited the school, the
owner of the school was said to have gone
to the police station in respect of the matter.
While at the Ikotun Station, a police source
confirmed the incident and added that the
matter will be transferred to State Criminal
Investigation Department, SCID, Panti Yaba,
Lagos after their preliminary investigation at
Ikotun.
