Faith told journalists on Tuesday that she gave birth to the baby on October 28, after she was returned to her parents by her guardians in August, explaining that during the period of the pregnancy, neither herself nor her family receive any assistance from the vice principal.

She said, “I am not happy that I am now a mother at this tender age; but I will not allow the incident to shatter my dream of becoming a nurse. I still want to further my studies because I want to be a nurse in the future.”

She therefore, soliticited for assistance from the government to enable her further her education.

Her mother advised young girls, to be committed to their studies and report to the school authorities or their parents any form of abuse by any individual or group of persons.

Haruna Galadima, the 65-year-old father of the teenage girl, condemned Mohammed for neglecting his daughter during the pregnancy period, and called on the government for justice and assistance to help his daughter return to school.

He said, “When I heard that my daughter was impregnated by the vice principal in her school, I regretted sending her to school, because a teacher who was supposed to teach and correct her was the one responsible for her predicament. What I want now is for my daughter to be taken care of by the man who put her in the family way; he should take full responsibility for the baby’s needs.”

The Director General of the Niger State Child Rights Protection Agency, Mrs. Mairam Kolo, speaking on the matter, said the agency had approached the ministry of education to give part of the vice principal’s salary to Faith on a monthly basis for the baby’s upkeep.

Kolo said the agency would file an application before the court for a DNA test to be conducted on the baby to assist police investigation and the court, assuring that the agency would get justice for the victim and ensure that she returned to school.

Punch reports that Mohammed had been secretly transferred from GSS Tunga, Minna to an unknown school while the case against him was pending in the court.
