Madrasa teacher arrested for allegedly sodomizing over 20 pupils
A Madrasa teacher has been arrested in connection with the
sodomization of over 20
pupils at Mkonoo Primary School in Arusha, Tanzania.
The senior citizen identified as Jumanne
Ikungi is said to have been luring pupils with candy, sugarcane and other gifts
before abusing them.
Mkonoo’s headmaster Lucian Monino told the
media that they had started to note a pattern of absenteeism among some
students who were later found to keep the company of Jumanne.
"After the absence we started an
investigation and found out that there are many pupils who end up at an elderly
man identified as Jumanne where they were being abused," Monino was on
Wednesday quoted by The Citizen as saying.
"We interrogated them and they confessed
to being abused while going to madrasas and to the house of the old man who
lives alone," he added.
Arusha District Commissioner Said Mtanda
confirmed he had confirmed the incident after interrogating
parents, teachers and pupils.
"I have instructed the pupils to continue to be examined
in hospitals and madrasas and to be detained by the police until the
investigation is completed," said Mtanda.
