The Rivers State Police command said it has arrested two students of the Community Secondary School, Nkpolu Oroworukwo, in Mile Diobu, Port Harcourt, for allegedly entangling themselves in sexual acts in an isolated classroom within the school premises.
It was gathered that the two senior secondary school students were allegedly engaged in the act, while unknown to them they were being filmed on video by one of their classmates.
The classmate who discreetly took the video of the erotic scene then sent it to a fellow student through WhatsApp which in turn drew the attention of some students.
Soon afterwards, the attention of the management of the school was drawn to the situation, when a male teacher stumbled on the video on the phone of one of the students the video was transferred to.
The school management then invited the police from the Nkpolu Divisional Police headquarters in Port Harcourt, leading to the arrest of the two students involved in the love triangle.
Also arrested were a male student who took the video and another of same-sex to whom the video was forwarded to.
A parent of one of the arrested students, who did not want her name in print for fear of being stigmatised, confirmed the incident to reporters but declined further comments.
When contacted, the Principal of the School, Mrs. Patience Nwachukwu, expressed sadness over the situation, saying the affected students were a bad influence and that such behaviour could not be condoned.
She said, “Those children are a bad influence and we can’t condone that. After now they will have to be expelled from the school.
“I will still have to get to my boss to report and tell them the action I intend to take. But that is what I think is the best because if they go unpunished tomorrow others will do worse and nothing will happen.”
