A nursery and primary school in Ojodu-Abiodun area of
Lagos state during their end of the year Christmas party
has encuntered what can be said to be an awful father
Christmas experience few days ago.
The event which was supposed to be full of happiness
and merriment amongst the teachers,students and
every parent present at the event turned awry after a
five-year-old pupil from the school complained that the
Father Christmas dipped a finger in her v**ina and
blood came out when she went in for her gift.
The odd incident was said to be reported at a police
station in the area following which the said Father
Christmas was arrested penultimate Friday and later
released on bail. He was thereafter mandated to report
to the station last Monday.
However, Sun reports that when during the
investigation to make up this report, when the police
station where the matter was reportedly handled was
visited, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) denied
knowledge of the case, saying that no such matter was
brought before him.
However, further investigations showed that the matter
was actually reported at that station. A petty trader
around the police station made it known that the matter
did not involve a Father Christmas, but a Barney
brought to the party by the party organizers hired by the
school for the event.She explained that it was even the
owner of the business that was arrested and not the
culprit as he could not be traced after the incident. She
said that she knew about the matter when she saw a
pregnant woman by her shop (who she claimed was the
wife of the man arrested) crying while the man was
detained at the police station. Although the woman
argued that the man on the run was innocent of the
charge, she could not explain why the said offender
disappeared following the report.
It was her view that the parents of the girl were not
telling the whole truth, as they were alleged to have
taken the child to a hospital as far as Ogba, in Lagos,
for test that would ascertain the truth of the matter.
According to her, they claimed that it was their family
hospital. She believed that the police were in the best
position to decide where the test should have been
done.
“I know the man that was arrested. He runs a
party organizing outfit, which the school hired.
When people rent the Barney costume, anybody
can then wear it. When someone rented it in my
compound, it was even my son that wore it.
Anybody can wear it. The person who wore the
costume during the party allegedly dipped his
finger in the girl’s v**ina, and then ran away.
They have not seen him till now,” she
explained
Another respondent, a woman who lives next door to
the school confirmed the story saying it was actually a
man in Father Christmas costume that committed the
offence. The school, a two-storey building, is adjacent
to her house. She, however, explained that the parties
had settled matter.
“They were having the party upstairs when the
thing happened; they have a hall where they
hold parties upstairs. But they have settled it.”
She even assured the reporter who she believed
was an intending patron, that the school was a
very good one. “It is just that one (referring to
the incident). I am a teacher myself, and I can
tell you that the school is very good.”
A father Christmas who is meant to bring gifts of happiness turned into something else....
