Following the alleged rape saga perpetrated by students of Chrisland Schools in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the Lagos State Government has shut down the school indefinitely.
Chrisland School had been condemned for allegedly covering up the rape of a 10-year-old girl while students were on trip to Dubai, more so due to the video of the act being circulated on social media.
A statement on Monday said, “The attention of the Lagos State Government has been drawn to the alleged sexual violence case involving students of Chrisland Schools which occurred in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
“In view of the allegations, we are committed to ensuring that adequate medical and pscyho-social support is provided.
“This is to reassure members of the public of the State Government’s commitment to safety and child protection, especially in ensuring that all child-centred institutions within the state, formulate and implement policies and systems that are compliant with the Executive Order (NO.EO/AA08 of 2016), Lagos State Safeguarding and Child Protection Program.
“In the meantime, all Chrisland Schools within Lagos State are hereby closed, pending further investigations.”
