After an eyewitness shared on social media how final year secondary school students s*xually assaulted their female counterparts on their last day in school at Falomo, Ikoyi, Lagos, in what has been described as a “tradition”, the Lagos State Government is said to be hunting for the students responsible.

Four of the students of Ireti Grammar School, Falomo, Lagos, have been arrested after the Lagos State Government tasked the police with tracking the perpetrators down.

According to the story shared by Michale Matthew, female students of Falomo Senior High School, who had just finished their final exam were targeted by male students of Ireti Grammar School, South West Ikoyi, who had also taken their last paper on Wednesday.

Matthew gave a graphic account of how some of the students pinned down their struggling victims, as their colleagues herded around, cheering the assailants.

The eyewitness, who apparently works in the neighbourhood, was closing for work that day when she chanced on the scene.

She said, “Their shouting overpowers any other sound and looking closely, I see the most unreal thing. It is actually a boy trying to force himself on a girl with his trousers partly down and the boys are cheering him on.

“People are looking and some persons, the security guards in the office near us are recording it. I open my car in disbelief and shout at the boys to break it up while shouting at my security and the second driver to assist me.

“I walk towards them and as I make my way towards them, I see another group and this time they have cornered one of the girls who fell while running from them.

“I see her kicked down, she bravely pushes herself up and another guy tries to clear her legs and she lunges at him and then a guy takes a pair of scissors in his hands and with one swoop tears her skirt from the bottom and also a part of the black spandex shorts she has on underneath.

“All this happens really in a few minutes and he proceeds to push himself into her through her back. His trousers is open too and another one tries to do same from the front. As this is going on, the crowd of boys are wild with frenzy, cheering the two boys on, while grabbing at her hair, bre@sts and she is fighting for dear life.

“This is not before I get the names of the boys as George and Abiodun as the main perpetrators, they are final year students of Ireti Grammar School SW Ikoyi.”

She said after intervening and forcing some of the boys to flee, she personally escorted some of the girls who clung to her for safety to the motor parks to board vehicles to their various homes.

On Thursday, policemen from the Adeniji Adele Police Division, the Social Welfare Department of the Lagos State Ministry of Youths, Sports and Social Development and officials from the deputy governor’s office stormed the schools to trace some of the boys who could be identified as the perpetrators.

Some of the boys were later apprehended. The police are said to still be on the trail of other schoolboys who took part in the attacks.

On Friday, the state Deputy Governor, Dr.Idiat Adebule, who oversees the state’s education ministry, confirmed the arrest in a statement.

“Four of the boys involved are already helping the law enforcement agents in apprehending others who participated in the reckless act,” she said.

The statement signed by the Assistant Director, Public Affairs,
Ministry of Education, Adesegun Ogundeji, indicated that the deputy governor had assured the public that extensive investigation will be conducted and all those found culpable would face the consequences of their indiscipline and lawlessness.

Adebule said, “Students are expected to be of best behaviour and shun all acts of violence and immorality that can undermine the policy of Government on discipline being entrenched in schools.

“The state government won’t take kindly to the reckless attitudes of a few that intends to drag the image built over the years in the mud.

“She stressed that discipline must prevail for the smooth running of the schools and acts of recklessness such as reported in the case under investigation is totally unacceptable and would not be tolerated.”
The deputy governor called on parents and guardians to monitor their children’s actions in and out of their school premises.

The state government said principals and heads of schools would not be held responsible for instituting measures to curb indiscipline in their various schools, warning that “anyone caught looking the other way will equally face appropriate disciplinary actions as stipulated in the Public Service Rule.”

The Coordinator of the Lagos State Domestic and S3xual Violence Response Team, Mrs. Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi, said her agency had visited the schools as part of its investigation.
She said, the public should expect prosecution in the case.

“We are working to ensure that we provide a holistic response to the case. Aside from investigation, there is also the legal aspect; possible prosecution to ensure deterrence.

“The Attorney-General has also given directives that the matter should be investigated. We are working to ensure that this kind of activity does not repeat itself again.”

She said in the coming weeks, DSVRT would embark on sensitisation and awareness in Lagos schools to enlighten schoolchildren, teachers and parents on s*xual and gender-based violence.

But the Lagos State Police Command said there were no indications that the schoolboy’s actions could be termed as s*xual violence.

Spokesperson for the command, Mr. Olarinde Famous-Cole, told our correspondent that reports from the police division in the area so far show that the case may not be r@pe.

Smh

And naturally, no one came to separate them. Rather, all was busy vedeotaping them and enjoying the illicit show.
The worst part of the crime was not the action of the rapers themselves, but that of the onlookers who did nothing to stop them.

While Greenspring, Kings college, British school students are thinking about UK/USA/Canadian universities immediately after SSCE final exams.

What is Lagos state police command trying to say?
Trying to say it was not a sexual violence since rape was not involved!

Sexual violence is defined as a sexual act committed against someone without that person’s freely given consent.

Rape full everywhere dis days

Terrible news. What's the world coming to these days

Families and friends of the girls raped are unserious. If any of the girls was my friend or family, i will track the boys and knock them off one by one. No police involvement, even if takes 20 years, they will each get a bullet except they die before i reach them.

Wonders shall never cease! what do you expect from a country where all her citizens exert desperation to pleasure, not minding what and how another might feel? such level cum degree of moral decadence amongst our youth shows that we have no future in this land. Amadioha help us all.

If you had a sister in the video or a daughter you will still request for the video right? Asking for a video depicting the sexual assault of mostly minors? Are you for real? Please try to think before you comment.

Reminds me of the story of a top military man who took his chef to the top of an uncompleted building and threw him down four times because he raped his 14 year old daughter. I don't condone murder but I can totally pardon his action.

Very unimaginable.... They shud be charged.and prosecuted.. Children can also goto jail... My 2 piece

you can as well call the world a zoo, crimes are common place worldwide these days, rape especially in India and South Africa.

that is the weirdest news I've ever heard
What's even more weird is that it is considered a "tradition"? What? Has this been going on for years and the principal has been forming e no concern me and no onlooker comes to break em up and everyone records it?
Weird story indeed

Hmm
