The little girl had shared details of the abuse with her mother and both of them shared the full details in court in 2018.
In October 2019, after listening to evidence, the sexual offences court sentenced Adenekan to 60 years in prison, but the supervisor appealed the sentence.
Now, the appeal court has also reached its own verdict and thrown out the case, according to a Twitter update by the Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team (DSVRT).
They write: “FLASH- The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal and affirmed the Judgement of the lower Court (Sexual Offences Court – Nwaka J.) in the case of Adegboyega Adenekan (Chrisland School Supervisor) today 27th day of July, 2020.”
