LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- Bisi Oluwatayo, the Grandmother of a four-year-old pupil of Greater Scholars International School, Ajah, Lagos State, who was reportedly defiled by the school’s security guard, has demanded justice for her grandchild.
Recall that voiceofnaija.ng earlier reported that a tweep claimed that a 4-year-old pupil of the school was sexually abused by a security guard.
Oluwatayo, in a message posted on her Facebook page, said the family had been traumatized by the event and needed justice.
“With sadness and grief in our hearts, we write to report that our precious four-year-old granddaughter was sexually molested and physically abused by some staff (members) of her nursery school (Greater Scholars Staff School) at Abraham Adesanya Estate, Lekki Ajah, Lagos State, on Thursday, 27 April, 2023,” she wrote.

She questioned why such was allowed to happen in a school environment and expressed displeasure over the alleged negligence of the school in taking prompt action.
“What business does the security guard has bringing children into and out of class? Where there are the teachers and assistants in the school? Why is he involved in changing clothes and getting their underwear? What level of negligence is that?” she queried.
According to Punch reports, members of a non-governmental organization, Concerned Parents and Educators Network, have concluded plans to protest in front of the school gate on Thursday (today).
The parents of the pupil, Mr and Mrs Olusola, had earlier told Punch that several requests to the school to inquire about the incident were met with threats.
The parents said the situation had made their usually lively daughter be withdrawn and moody.
“We had to book a child psychologist for her. As parents, we sent our daughter to school, we didn’t think we were handing her over to abusers and molesters. It has been a painful experience. We are just hoping we get justice for her because the way the school has gone about it, they have shown zero care about the children,” they added.
