The vice principal earlier admitted to officials of
the Niger state Child Rights Agency of having sex with the student and
had begged for clemency.
However, the vice principal through his counsel,
Barrister Mohammed Mustapha denied the act, while appearing before a
Senior Magistrate Court 8 sitting in Minna on Wednesday.
Counsel to the accused while submitting oral
application for his bail said Mohammed has denied committing the offence
as contained in the First Information Report, adding that the court has
also taken cognizance of the denial in line with section 143 of
Criminal Procedure Code.
"In view of this, we humbly make an oral
application for his bail before the court under the inheritance and
rights jurisdiction of the court," he submitted.
He said the oral application for bail was premise
under section 34,35 and 36 of the 1999 constitution as amended, while
urging the court to use its discretion to effect his client's release.
