Four Chrisland School staff, broadcaster arrested over sex tape scandal

On Tuesday, May 10, 2022, the Nigerian police arraigned four teachers of Chrisland School at the Yaba Magistrate Court, Lagos State over sexual misconduct by five pupils of the school during an international trip, TopNaija reports.

Those brought to the court were the staff who accompanied the pupils to Dubai, UAE, for World School Games, a four-day annual competition with schools from all over the world.

They are Oladotun Sotunde, Elesho Tajudeen, Rhoda Olanipekun and Ajiboye Hammed.

The teachers are facing charges pertaining to alleged conspiracy and conduct likely to cause a breach of public peace.

After the sex video of the affected pupils went viral on the social media, the Lagos State Government announced the closure of all the branches of the school in the state.

However, the government directed the reopening of the schools a week later following a review of the administrative investigation into the incident.

Also, a 40-year-old broadcaster, Uche Igwe, who allegedly shared on Twitter, video of a 10-year- old Chrisland School student, who engaged in sexual intercourse, was on Monday brought before a Yaba Chief Magistrates’ Court in Lagos State.

Igwe, who resides at No. 14 Ogundare Street in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State, is facing a two-count charge of cyberstalking and breach of peace.

He, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.

The Chief Magistrate, Mrs Adeola Adedayo, admitted the defendant to bail in the sum of N10 million with three sureties in like sum.

Adedayo ruled that the sureties must submit  their National Identification Numbers and their Lagos State Residents Registration Agency cards.

She also directed that one of the sureties must be a land owner, adding that all the sureties must reside within the court’s jurisdiction.

Adedayo ordered that the sureties must be  gainfully employed and have evidence of three years’ tax payment to Lagos State Government.

She adjourned the case until June 13 for mention.
