BREAKING: Chrisland Headteacher, Parents, Others Report To SCID Panti

All persons engaged in the alleged sexual abuse of a 10-year-old primary six kid at Chrisland Schools in the Victoria Garden City region of Lagos have been summoned by the Lagos State Police Command.

All parties engaged in the matter have been instructed to report to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, today, according to Lagos Police Public Relations Officer Benjamin Hundeyin.

“All of the parties involved have been invited to the State Criminal Investigation Department Panti today to give a written statement, and additional questioning will be done,” Hundeyin said.

The school’s headteacher, G.I. Azike, is one of the parties involved, as are the parents of the female pupil who allege that their daughter was sexually abused while the school was competing in the World School Games in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Despite the fact that the female student was one of 76 students who represented the school at the Dubai event, which took place between March 8 and 14, 2022, the institution stated the allegation of rape was unfounded.

Rather, the school claimed that two students participated in “sexual misbehavior” in a game called “Truth or Dare” after the lights went off.

The school authorities subsequently suspended the female student (name withheld) indefinitely, stating that she was “a major actor” in the “immoral act”.

However, the mother of the pupil, in a viral video, claimed that her daughter was drugged and raped by some male students of the school.

It was earlier reported that the Lagos State Government on Monday closed all Chrisland Schools in the state, indefinitely, pending the outcome of an 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.
