Stakeholders in the education sector have faulted the closure of all campuses of the Chrisland Schools by the Lagos State Government, saying dealing with the identified errant students would have been more appropriate.

This is also as they have faulted the series of tests reportedly carried out on the female student at the centre of the crisis.

A legal practitioner, Mrs. Helen Essien, wondered why the government would shut down a whole school because of the misdemeanor of a few students.

For Omolola Davis: “The only fault of the school is the alleged “cover up”. Closing all annexes of Chrisland schools is unfair. For It wasn’t a murder case. It didn’t happen on the school premises. It wasn’t a rape case. Didn’t they consider the remaining many students and employees?

Meanwhile, the Lagos State Chapter of Child Protection Network, an initiative of UNICEF has shown her displeasure at the way Chrisland College subdued a 10 year -old girl to psychological torture in their investigation into the matter.

Speaking through the president of the organisation, Mrs Ronke Oyelakin, carrying out pregnancy test on a minor without the parents’ consent, according to the mother in a video released by her, is absurd and against the rights of thethe rights of the child.

Oyelakin however said thorough investigation must be carried out because there are many questions that answers must be provided for by the school and the parents.
