A primary school teacher, Haruna Aliyu , 45, of Unguwar Ganjuwa in Bauchi metropolis, has been remanded in prison for allegedly sodomising his pupil.
Sources told The Nation that Aliyu was fond of luring the eight-year old pupil (name-withheld) with a paltry sum of N10 every Friday to have his way with him.
According to the boy ‘s father, Ladan Altines , his son had complained of lingering pain in his anus before he took ill and subsequently excreted maggot.
He said: ‘’ For the past one to two months, my child has been complaining of stomach trouble, we took him to a nearby health facility, thereafter the boy started complaining of pains in his anus, a situation which led to maggot excretion from his anus”.

Altines , who spoke at the end of a magistrate’s court 10 ruling in Bauchi which remanded the accused until further hearing on February 5, said he was at the court to ensure his son gets justice.
The presiding judge, Justice Abdulmumini Adamu , at its sitting last Wednesday had ordered the remand of the accused at the Bauchi Correctional Centre and fixed February 5 for hearing of the suit to allow the police to further investigate the matter and produce witnesses.
Prosecuting police officer, Inspector Yusuf Usman had told the Court that on the December 6, 2019, one Honourable Altine Ladan of Ganjuwa Quarters in Bauchi metropolis lodged a complaint at the police station accusing Haruna Aliyu (45) of the same address of coercing his son of eight years into sodomy.
Usman noted that the offence was against section 284 as related to homosexuality and lesbianism of the penal code.
The case was therefore adjourned to February 5 for further hearing.
