A private school teacher in Kano State has been remanded in a correctional facility for allegedly raping and sexually abusing four sisters, aged five and seven. The suspect, identified simply as Uncle Kamal, taught at Al-Hadeed Private School in Inusawa town within Ungogo Local Government Area.

The four victims, named as Hassana, Hussaina, Gambo, and their five-year-old sister, all attended the same school. They are biological siblings sharing the same mother. The prosecutor disclosed that the children’s mother became suspicious after noticing one of her daughters was bleeding from her private part and could not control her bowels.

Upon questioning the children, all four of them accused their teacher, Uncle Kamal, of sexual abuse. The prosecution counsel, Badamasi Gandu, informed the court that medical reports confirmed all four children had been sexually assaulted.
