Four teachers of Chrisland School in Lagos have been
arraigned for allegedly concealing a s..3e,x tape involving one of its
students.
The staff members — three male and a female — were docked on
Tuesday at a Yaba chief magistrate court in Lagos.
The police charged Oladotun Sotunde, 56; Elesho Tajudeen;
32, Rhoda Olanipekun; 45, and Ajigboye Hammed, 41, with two counts of
conspiracy and attempt to pervert justice.
They, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Yetunde Cardoso, the police officer in charge of the legal
department at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti,
appeared with Augustine Nwabuisi for the prosecution.
Cardoso said the defendants committed the offence on April
25, at Chrisland School, in Victoria Garden City, Idimu, Lagos.
The police officer said the defendants were asked to
chaperone the students to Dubai for a world school game.
According to her, the students engaged in indecent s,,3,xual
acts while on the trip, and a 10-year-old student made a s3…x tape which the
teachers allegedly conspired to conceal.
She said the teachers allegedly obstructed the course of
justice by hiding the indecent acts of the students’ s3,..ex video before it
later went viral.
The offence, she said, contravene the provisions of 411 and
97 (1) (3) of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State, 2015 (revised).
Section 97 provides seven years imprisonment for the offence
of attempting to pervert justice while Section 411 provides two years for
conspiracy.
Adeola Adedayo, the chief magistrate, admitted the
defendants to bail in the sum of N300,000 each with three responsible sureties
each in like sum.
She held that the sureties must submit copies of their
National Identification Number (NIN), and their Lagos State Residents
Registration Agency (LASRRA) card.
She further directed that one of the sureties must be a
landowner, but all of them must be residing within the court’s jurisdiction and
be gainfully employed with evidence of three years of tax payment to the Lagos
government.
Adebayo ruled that the case file be duplicated and sent to
the Lagos directorate of public prosecution (DPP) for legal advice.
She adjourned the case until June 13 for mention.
