Police in Cross River State arrest a 22-year-old security guard attached to a nursery and primary school in Calabar over an allegation that he sexually assaulted a five-year-old pupil. The suspect is identified as Bright Bassey Elijah. The arrest follows a report of the incident to the police on Monday, September 28, according to the police.
The reports describe the disclosure in statements by the Cross River State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Sunday Eitokpah. Vanguard and Daily Post Nigeria both present the same core account: the alleged assault involves a toddler in a school setting, the suspect is a security guard at the same school, and police action follows the complaint. Differences across the outlets are limited to wording and phrasing; both attribute the information to the police and focus on the arrest and the nature of the allegation.
