Sierra Leone Police in Pujehun are currently investigating Imam, Mustapha Rogers (Mualem) of the Pujehun Central Mosque for allegedly penetrating a nine-year-old girl.
Deputy Imam Mustapha Rogers was recruited by the Ummah Welfare to teach the children Arabic and the basics of Islam, which has been going on for a couple of months now.
On Wednesday 5th June 2024, Imam Mustapha reportedly took the young girl into the toilet of the Pujehun Central Mosque where the teaching takes place, during which he purportedly penetrated the girl with his fingers and gave her an NLe 10 note.
Upon getting home, the girl’s parent saw the NLe 10 note with her and asked where she got it from, the girl explained exactly what happened between herself and her Arabic Teacher.
The incident was immediately reported to the police station and a medical examination was carried out on the girl, affirming that she had been sexually penetrated, later the suspect was arrested, and he is currently in police custody.
According to community members, the suspect is notorious for sexually abusing teenage girls even when he has three (3) wives.
According to the report, some years ago he was accused of sexually penetrating a five-year-old girl in a village called Mopani in the riverine area of Pujehun District and was sent out of the village. He later came and settled in Kebawana village where he did the same act and was asked out of the village. He later relocated to the district headquarters Town, Pujehun.
The community is calling for justice to be served and for measures to be put in place to protect the vulnerable members of society from such heinous acts.
The situation has sparked outrage and conversation about the importance of addressing sexual abuse in the community to prevent further harm. However, the police are yet to release an official statement on the incident.
Residents are hopeful that the investigation will lead to the perpetrator being held accountable for his actions.
These are the people giving badname to the Muslims,he has discrace all the Muslims.
They give the Muslim badname,totally discraseto our nation, let him go to jail for 30 years,papa police please…
Was he not investigated by the pupils he meet at the central mosque to know his attitude or behavior before giving a position in the mosque as an imam?
Was he not investigated by the pupils he meet at the central mosque of Pujehun District to know his attitude or behavior before they handover the mosque to him as an imam?
Now he gives bad signal to the mosque and the Muslim community as a whole.
He’s trying to give stain to Allah’s religion. But the only thing I’ll say is, as far as Allah condemned such act, the perpetrator shall face the anger of Allah. He’ll severely be punish.
Justice must be done. Let him pay the price. God have mercy on this Nation.
A wrong has been committed against an innocent angel, a soyl.has been scalded for life, a trauma has been inflicted for eternity and all you people care about is religion ? This has nothing to do with religion, it is the individual nothing to do with God! Stop being slaves to religion and start worshipping God and His teachings which by the way doesn’t differentiate btw Muslims, Christians etc when it comes to dishing out His vengeance !
Absolutely it’s a mere stain to his personality, his family and to the religion. Cuz the hatters of Islam maybe glad to hear such and use it as a mockery towards Muslims. It’s all said and done that, he has been doing such malicious acts. Every hidden act, must surely come to light. Islam has been made and perfected by Allah; whoever tries by bringing mockery towards the religion, will get himself mocked by people. Islam forbids such acts, therefore call to justice should be considered vividly. May Allah have mercy on us all and grant us Jannah!
When we failed to obey the Islamic laws this is the result.may Allah bring solution in our country Amin.
O Allah
He’s not an imam but someone who claims to be an Arabic teacher.
Thanks for keeping us abreast with the happening around.
Notwithstanding, I condemn the action of the assistant imam, if the issue have reached to the law, let allow the law to take it course or describe the man in any other way instead using the religious tittle.
Warm regards.
Hmm! E nor dea don, another history for pujehun back oooh 🙄
This man is satanic,how can we entrust our children’s safety with some of this barbaric Arabic teacher’s?
This is tantamount near fabrication, for a deputy Imam and at the same time an Arabic teacher to do such act. It totally condemned in Islam, may law take it judge.
This is a total molestation to not only the religion he claims to belong but the society as a whole, may Allah help this country.
Hello what is the outcome of the tripartite committee discussions ?
Please we should not judge yet but wait for the outcome of the investigation.
