The management of Chrisland Schools via an email tried to assure parents of their children’s safety. This comes after viral reports alleging that a 47-year-old supervisor in the school, Adegboyega Adenekan, molested a 2-year-old girl in the school. Ade was accused of molesting the little girl who was in the VGC branch of the school in November 2016. A video recording of the little girl describing how the school supervisor molested her was played at the Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court on Monday February 12th.
Nigerians on social media had called on parents that still have their wards in the school to remove them and boycott the school after it was alleged that the school had hired a SAN to defend the accused in court. The email read: ”It all started when a mother alleged that her daughter was molested. We were baffled that a mother could keep quiet and not notify the school or report it for two weeks. We also wondered why she left the child in the school for a month if indeed she was molested in the same school.
“The school said the matter was immediately reported to the Ajah Police Station and investigations began and that it had cooperated with the police and the agencies involved in the case and have vowed to prosecute Adenekan if he was found guilty. The issue erupted and took a fierce dimension when journalists who witnessed the court sitting last week in solidarity with the plaintiff who is a blogger, started writing malicious stories which are not a true picture of court proceedings being circulated online.
“We believe there is a conspiracy against the Chrisland brand and this is nothing but paid journalism. We pray that the good Lord will vindicate us. Please be assured that your children are in safe hands. We have successfully built a solid reputation over the last 40-years and we continue to stand for excellence.”
