Chrisland School, the institution established by veteran educationist Mrs. Winifred Adefolahan Awosika, is again in the news for the wrong reasons as it is enmeshed in another sexual scandal following the outcry of a mother of a 10 year old pupil of the school has cried out to Nigerians for help after discovering that her child was involved in a sex orgy during a school trip to Dubai which was organised by the school.
In 2019, an Ikeja domestic violence and sexual offences court has sentenced Adegboyega Adenekan, a school supervisor with Chrisland School, Lekki, to 60 years imprisonment for child defilement.
Sybil Nwaka, the presiding judge, handed down the sentence after convicting Adenekan of a lone-count charge of defiling a two-year-and-11-month-old pupil.
In another developing story, a viral video was posted on the Instagram page of a music executive, Ubi Franklin, the woman stated that while her daughter was in the act, which she claimed was a ‘rape’ some filmed the incident and posted it online.
She claimed that the school tried to cover up the incident from them till another parent showed her the video of the incident. The aggrieved mother further claimed that the school threatened to kill her daughter if she ever spoke about the incident.
“A parent called me that she needed to see me urgently. I went to her house and she told me that something had been trending in Chrisland and she believes I was not aware. The woman showed me the video and told me that all the parents are aware. Immediately I informed my husband.
“Please I am begging Nigerians to help me because Chrisland was trying to hide this issue. They were trying to push us out of the way and my daughter was affected psychologically. Please I need help as a mother. I am begging fellow Nigerians to help me.
“They have been threatening my daughter that if she speaks out they are going to kill her. That it is a man’s world and nothing would happen. My daughter was dying in silence,” she said in parts of the video.
The mother of the pupil further stated ever since they confronted the school about the incident, they suspended her daughter. “Because we have started confronting them that we are aware of what they did, the school sent her a suspension letter.
“When my daughter explained to me what happened, she said that they went out in the morning to have breakfast and one of the boys, Kachi, begged her to borrow him her phone charger which she obliged. After they had dinner, Kachi called her room that she should come and take her charger. She went there for her charger.
“When she got into the room, one of them said she should take her charger from the toilet it was when she entered the toilet, that they hijacked her and told her to take a substance, so they were all under the influence. She said after that she did not know what she was doing again. They told her to be climbing them and someone stood there videoing them and posting it out,” she said.
