The Lagos State Police Command has invited all parties
involved in the alleged sexual abuse of a 10-year-old primary six pupil of
Chrisland Schools located in the Victoria Garden City area of the state.
The Lagos Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin
Hundeyin, revealed on Tuesday that all parties involved in the matter
have been directed to report to the State Criminal Investigation Department,
Panti, today.
Giving an update on the matter, Hundeyin said, “All the
parties involved have been invited to the State Criminal Investigation
Department Panti today to give a written statement and further questioning will
be done.”
The parties involved include the school’s head teacher, G.I.
Azike; the parents of the female pupil who alleged that their daughter was
sexually abused during the school’s participation in the World School Games at
Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Though the school management said the female pupil was among
76 pupils that represented the school at the event, which was held between
March 8 and 14, 2022, it said the allegation of rape was false.
Rather, the school said two pupils of the school engaged in
what the school described as ‘sexual misconduct’ in a game called ‘Truth or
Dare,’ when the act occurred after lights out.
The school authorities subsequently suspended the female
student (name withheld) indefinitely, stating that she was “a major actor” in
an “immoral act”.
However, the mother of the student, in a viral video,
claimed that her daughter was drugged and raped by some male students of the
school.
Recall that the Lagos State
Government on Monday closed all Chrisland Schools in the state, indefinitely,
pending the outcome of investigation by security agents.
The Chrisland Schools’ incident was one of the disheartening
cases resulting from bullying and molestations in secondary schools of late.
Last November, a 12-year-old boarding student of Dowen
College, Lekki, Lagos, Sylvester Oromoni, reportedly died from injuries
sustained after he was allegedly bullied and sexually molested by some senior
students of the school.
Karen-Happuch Akpagher of Premiere Academy, Lugbe, Abuja, had
died of sexual molestation in June 2021 while Don Davies of Deeper Life High
School, Uyo, had also narrowly escaped death in December 2020, when his mother
raised the alarm of alleged sodomy of her emaciated son.
