The administrator of Benin-based King of Kings College,
Rotimi Olayebi Edwards, was on Monday remanded at the Oko prisons in Benin, Edo state.
Edwards was ordered to be kept in prison custody when a case of
alleged defilement of 11 female students of the school was mentioned on Monday before
an Egor Magistrate court.
The presiding Magistrate Igho Braimoh, who deferred the bail
of the suspect till a later date also adjourned hearing of the case to May 26.
The 47-year-old school administrator got into trouble when
some civil right activists, led by Jennifer Ero, last week, protested his
alleged sexual abuse of the schoolgirls, vowing to follow the matter to a
logical conclusion.
Ero, who was also at the court on Monday, said her organization
would ensure that the victims get justice.
One of the parents of the victims who explained how her
daughter was defiled called on the security agencies to investigate the matter
for her daughter to get justice.
