Chrisland: Police summon parents, pupils, school management

The Lagos State Police Command says it has extended invitations to the management of Chrisland Schools, parents and the pupils allegedly involved in sexual acts during a school trip to Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, stated this on Tuesday.

He said, “All the parties have been invited to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Yaba. The parties include the school authorities, parents and their children.

“Nobody has reported yet, but we are in touch with them and they have all given us a reasonable date and time that they will come. Whatever happens after their invitation will determine the next line of action.”

The pupils, including a 10-year-old girl, were among the 76 pupils that represented the school during the World School Games in Dubai which held between March 8 and 14, 2022.

During the event, the 10-year-old girl was reportedly involved in sexual acts which were recorded by another pupil.

The video clip went viral on Twitter on Monday.

The mother of the girl was heard in another recorded clip accusing the school of cover-up and taking her daughter for a pregnancy test without parental consent.

The state government then shut down all Chrisland Schools in the state, as the police commenced investigation into the matter.

Chrisland Schools, in a statement by a member of its advisory board, Akin Fadeyi, late Monday, denied the rape allegation, adding that the school did not take the child for any pregnancy test.
