SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the state Police Public Relations Officer, said this in a telephone interview 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.”

However, a source said on Wednesday, that all parties will report to the SCIID.

The pupils, including a 10-year-old girl, were among the 76 pupils that represented the school in the World School Games in Dubai from March 8 to 14, 2022.

The 10-year-old girl was reportedly engaged in sexual acts during the event, which was allegedly videotaped by another pupil.

On Monday, the video clip became popular on Twitter.

In another recorded recording, the girl’s mother is heard accusing the school of covering up and bringing her daughter for a pregnancy test without her consent.

The state government subsequently ordered the closure of all Chrisland Schools in the state, while the police investigated the incident.

Late Monday, a member of Chrisland Schools’ advisory board, Akin Fadeyi, issued a statement denying the rape accusation and stating that the school did not take the child for a pregnancy test.

A senior lawyer, Jiti Ogunye, reacted to the situation by criticizing the Lagos State Government for having a knee-jerk reaction.

He said, “Too often, the government reacts with a knee-jack approach. Knee-jack in the sense that it is when something happens that it will say it is closing down the school.

“It closed down the school, so what happens to the right to education of other pupils in the school? What happened to their right to learn in school? What happened to the money parents paid?

“So, it is not just about closing down the school; that is reactive; what the government should be doing is to activate the appropriate agencies/departments in the ministry of education, the supervisors to work. So, this is the time for the government to look inward.

“How many supervisors do they have that go round schools on a weekly/monthly basis to ask these children how they are fearing and what is going on in that school? I suspect that they don’t.”

Meanwhile, Usman Baba, the country’s Inspector-General of Police, has ordered a review of police personnel and operational assets deployed to schools and colleges.

Muyiwa Adejobi, the Force Public Relations Officer, said in a statement on Tuesday that the order was issued to guarantee that schools across the country were safe and secure for pupils.

According to Adejobi, the study was prompted by a few isolated incidences recorded in several of the country’s schools.
