Educationist Jailed 48 Years For Defiling 7-Year-Old Pupil

Ex-convict, Sakah Phidelis Lord, 47-year-old educationist, has been sentenced to 48 years imprisonment with hard labour for defiling a seven year old girl, shortly after her parent has dropped her off at school.

The Ex-Convict was jailed by G.A. Inkumsah-Eshum, presiding over the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) Court at the Police Headquarters, Accra, after a full trial.

According to the facts, presented by Chief Inspector Edina Aningah, the Ex-convict, prior to the incident, headed the victim’s school for just three weeks.

She said the incident happened on February 2, 2025 exactly five years since the convict was released from jail after serving a 15-year-term of defiling a 12-year-old girl.

The court heard that, Sakah Phidelis Lord was initially given a 25-year-jail term, but appealed and it was reduced to 15 years.

The Prosecutor further stated that the convict, after his employment, secretly granted himself residence on the school premises.

Therefore, when the complainant dropped the victim off at the school at approximately 7:15 am, she was spotted by the ex-convict.

Sakah Phidelis Lord accosted the victim at the common hallway while putting her drink in a fridge. The convict called the victim to his office and asked her to show him her panty, which she innocently did.

As narrated to the court, he then took the victim to the teachers’ washroom and instructed her to sit on the water closet and angrily asked her to remove her panty and cover her face.

The convict forced the victim to watch him while peeing before abusing her with his finger and manhood.

He also covered the victim’s mouth during the act and warned her not to tell anyone, threatening to flog her if she did.

Nevertheless, the victim mustered the courage to confide in her sister, a class five pupil, who then informed the school authorities. The victim was called to the Director’s office after school, where she narrated her ordeal.

The complainant became aware of the incident when he arrived to pick up the victim and her sister, by which time the convict had already gone into hiding.

Upon receiving this information, the complainant reported the matter to the police. A medical form was issued for the victim to undergo examination and receive care. After several unsuccessful attempts to contact the convict, he eventually sent a voice note to the school, stating that he had heard he was on the police wanted list.

He was later arrested in a container at Santeo on March 13, 2025.

Following investigations, he was arraigned before the court.
