The Lagos police have commenced an investigation into a s3...Ex
tape scandal involving pupils of the Chrisland School.
A woman had earlier claimed that her 10-year-old daughter
was raped during a trip to Dubai which was organised by the Lagos school.
Pupils from the private school located in Victoria Garden
City were in the UAE to participate in the World School Games between March 10
and 13, 2022.
But in the now-viral video, the pupil’s mother claimed that
graphic footage of the incident has been distributed on social media platforms.
The state’s ministry of education had earlier warned the
general public that sharing such footage amounts to child porn.
In a statement signed by Benjamin Hundeyin, the spokesperson
of the Lagos police, the force said it has begun a probe on the matter.
It also said efforts are being made, with the support of
Interpol if need be, to ascertain the facts of the case.
“The attention of the
Lagos state police command has been drawn to an alleged rape video purportedly
depicting students of Chrisland School Lagos, going viral on social media,” the
statement read.
“The command has commenced investigations into the matter
with a view to establishing the identities of the players in the video, the
true incident in the video, the geographical location of the incident…
…the alleged threat to life against a student of the school
and circumstances surrounding the alleged repeated pregnancy tests conducted on
a student without parental consent.
“The Command is equally taking cognizance of the cybercrime
angle to the whole episode and would not hesitate to enlist the support of the
Interpol should the need arise.
“For a holistic and
unbiased investigation, the Command shall be working with relevant ministries,
departments, agencies, and non-governmental organizations.
“Meanwhile, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP
Abiodun Alabi has assured that due diligence will be observed to ensure that
there is no miscarriage of justice.”
The Lagos government had also announced a shutdown of Chrisland
School pending further investigation of the matter.
