Yumbe Magistrates Court has sentenced a teacher of Kumari Primary School in Koboko district to eight years in jail for defilement.
Bosco Atiku, 36, a teacher of Kumari Primary School in Koboko District defiled a primary seven pupil of Omgbokolo Primary School in Yumbe district. Atiku was arrested in March at Kumari Primary School by Arafa sub county officials.
Court presided over by Yumbe Chief Magistrate Freddie Awacnedi heard that Atiku while at Mongoyo village, in Lobule Sub County defiled the girl at his home.
Prosecution also told the court that Atiku confined the girl for about four days at his residence by means of deception for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
The information later reached the girl’s relatives and the school administration of Omgbokolo Primary School which led to Atiku’s arrest.
Awacnedi said that, convicting Atiku to serve eight years sentence is not only a punishment to him but also a lesson to other teachers who are engaged in such similar acts, a person who would have high integrity given his profession.
