CAMPUS SIGNAL | Police Probe Case of Sexual Assault at Queens College

The Lagos State Police Command is investigating a teacher at Queens College, Yaba, Lagos, one Mr. Osifala Olaseni, over allegation of sexual assault of a Junior Secondary School 2 student.

Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni, disclosed this yesterday when the Commander of 435 BSG, Mr. Paul Masiyer, paid him a courtesy visit in his office.

He said: “As a responsible organisation, we are aware of a story accusing a male teacher of Queens College, one Mr. Olaseni, of assaulting a student.

“We did not wait for a formal complaint to begin investigation into the matter.”

Meanwhile, the Minister of State for Education, Professor Anthony Anwukah, constituting a panel to investigate. Anwukah, according to a statement by Mr. Ben Bem Goong, Director of Press, assured the public, particularly parents and guardians whose wards are in any of the Unity Schools and other Federal Government Colleges that their children were in safe hands. One Mrs Chinyere Okoye had claimed that her JSS 2 daughter was sexually molested by Olaseni, a Biology teacher.

However, the school’s management and students embarked on a peaceful protest, Monday, saying the allegation was false and an attempt to dent the image of the school and the teacher.
