CHRISLAND SCHOOL: Here’s how Nigerians are reacting to suspension of 10-year-old scholar on social media

Chrisland School, a privately owned educational institution in Lagos, State, Nigeria, is making the headlines for the wrong reasons.

On Sunday, April 17, Nigerian music executive, Ubi Franklin, exposed a disturbing s3xual molestation saga involving a minor in the school.

According to the Made Men Music Group co-founder, his friend’s daughter was molested and recorded and the video has since been shared across various social media platforms.

In a series of tweets, Ubi mentioned that the young lady was selected to represent her school in a competition in Dubai. However, she was allegedly assaulted by her fellow students.

Disclosing the name of the school during the early hours of Monday, April 18, Ubi wrote:

”2:20 Am. Just left my friend’s residence, you will weep if you see my friend and his Wife. How can Chrisland school do this? Did it take you a month to tell her parents? Sent her a suspension letter after her family started raging. This is cruel and disgusting”

Hours later, a letter obtained by Ripples Nigeria documents the school formally notifying the parents of the young girl of her suspension; for allegedly joining ”a few other co-learners to carry out the immoral act after the lights out instruction was given”.
