Chrisland School Suspends 10-Year-Old After Alleged Defilement

Mother of a 10-year-old female pupil of Chrisland School has raised an alarm over the suspension of her daughter after she was allegedly defiled during a truth-or-dare game in Dubai.

Gatekeepers News reports that Chrisland School had taken some of its pupils to participate in the World School Games between March 10-13, 2022 in Dubai when the alleged rape was carried out.

On April 14, 2022, Chrisland School, Victoria Island Garden City, in a letter to the girl’s parent, stated that she took part in an “improper behaviour” after playing the truth-or-dare game, describing her as a “major participant.”

“In line with our core values centred on discipline, Chrisland Schools have zero tolerance for any improper behaviour and misconduct,” the school said in a letter signed by its principal Georgia Azike.

The school further noted that other schoolmates who took part in the game had been suspended, stressing that the girl and her parents did not cooperate during its investigation.

The letter read further, “Consequently, [name redacted] is hereby placed on indefinite suspension until you as the parents ensure that she is punished, adequately counselled, and rehabilitated.”

In a video obtained by Gatekeepers News, the mother claimed that the school conducted a pregnancy test for her child after the Dubai trip without her consent, adding that the school instead informed her that the child was going for a COVID test.

As of the time of filing this report, a spokesman for Chrisland did not return a request seeking comments about the allegations.

This development comes months after Sylvester Oromoni died under controversial circumstances at Dowen College, another elite school in Lagos State, southwest Nigeria.
