    Boi-Briggs, who spoke in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, said the rape incidents occurred between January and April 2022.

    She said the over 50 cases of teachers defiling their students had been reported and charged to court.

    She said: “It is sad and disheartening that we have a lot of students that have been defiled by their caregivers and teachers.

    “We presently have a case from Ahoada: a seven year-year-old child defiled by her teacher.

    “We have another case of a child somewhere in Elelenwo that was also defiled by her teacher.

    “We have another one in Rumuokuta, where the child was also defiled by her teacher.

    “So, we have a lot of cases of teachers defiling people they are supposed to be caregivers to.

    “This year alone, we have had more than 50 defilement issues.

    “All the matters of children being defiled by their teachers have been charged to court.”
