HOW CHRISLAND SCHOOL BATTLED TWO SEXUAL ALLEGATIONS IN THREE YEARS
Chief Winifred Awosika’s Chrisland School is engulfed in an alleged sexual scandal involving a 10-year-old female pupil of the school. The incident happened when some pupils from the school travelled to Dubai for the World School Games in March. The female pupil engaged in sexual misconduct while playing "Truth or Dare" after lights out. The video of the act was released and circulated online, leading to rage and condemnation from those who watched it. The girl at the centre of the controversy and all others involved were all suspended by the school. It was first reported by music executive, Ubi Franklin, who claimed that it was a case of rape. However, it turned out that he raised a false alarm as what happened in Dubai was not rape. Consequently, all 14 branches of the school were shut by the Lagos State Government.
This is not the first time that the school will be swimming in sexual violation allegations, especially the Victoria Garden City branch of the school. In 2019, Adegboyega Adenekan, a supervisor at the same branch of the school was sentenced by Justice Sybil Nwaka of the Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Court to 60 years imprisonment after he was found guilty of defiling a two-year-old pupil of the school. The ugly incident happened within the premises of the school and the little girl told her mother about it. She demonstrated with a teddy bear how she was defiled by the school supervisor. While further narrating what happened, the victim stated that Adenekan took her out of the classroom before inserting his manhood in her private part. The medical test conducted on the victim also corroborated her claims as it was revealed that there were blunt penetration injuries which could be as a result of penile penetration or blunt force injury.
