"They lied to our parents" Covenant University students accuse the school of leaving them under the rain to carry out pregnancy and drug test, instead of COVID-19 test

Students of Covenant University took to Twitter to claim the school's management refused to perform Covid-19 tests on them but chose instead to perform pregnancy and drug tests.
The students claimed that a member of staff told them they don't have to worry about being infected with Coronavirus because "Papa", their General Overseer, is praying for them.

They added that they were left in the rain for hours as the "pregnancy and drug tests" were carried out and their luggage and provisions were soaked.

"COVENANT UNIVERSITY IS NOT DOING COVID-19 TEST FOR STUDENTS! THEY LIED TO OUR PARENTS. THEY ARE ONLY DOING PREGNANCY AND DRUG TEST! I RESUMED TODAY AND ALL THEY DID WAS TAKE MY URINE AND BLOOD SAMPLE. @OGSGOfficial PLEASE HELP! I AM SCARED TO MY WITS! RETWEET WHEN YOU SEE THIS.
"They brought out only 2 canopies to search and test us. We were so many! Rain fell and they left us under the rain. Our provisions were destroyed and our luggages soaked to the last.
"One of the staffs even said that if any of us is infected, that we should not worry that papa is praying. That we should forget COVID-19.
"And to top it all, in the hostels, we are FOUR in a room! FOUR! No difference from every other semester before COVID-19."

When asked for proof, other students shared a video of students waiting in the rain with their luggage but they had no concrete proof that pregnancy and drug tests, instead of COVID-19 tests, were carried out. Their only proof was that their blood and urine samples were taken, instead of a swab up their nose.

Papa Is praying for them?

EFCC will not say anything now. Yahoo is not only pressing laptop o

If this story is confirmed as true, all the overzealous staff who supervised this should be queried and punished to serve as a deterrent to others, and an unreserved apology should be quickly issued to the students and their parents/guardians. However, there are 3 sides to this story; that of the students, the school management, and the real truth. I hope the management can respond to this allegations without speaking grammer cos i'm not sure Bishop Oyedepo will ever approve of this.

ok

Rather than rush into conclusion, wait for the other side of the story from the school management. Students are mainly known to give unbalanced reports.

Really? You expected the school management to agree with the students? There's heavy scam going on in that school.

Not only God..we all know that Covenant Uni was established to raise the educational standard in the country that has greatly diminished through quality training and research. A one sided dark story shouldn't be enough to write them off totally in bad light. Afterall what have our public institutions set as standard if we must compare? We await the school mgt to address this issue so the sane public can have a balanced judgement.

They subtly oppress the people under the guise of religion.

I Believe The Institution will Sort all these out!

HigherEd I would love to Hear from you..

I am also awaiting a more detailed response from the school mgt or a close source of the institution. That will inform my take on the issue.

Let's assume they are lying about the pregnancy and drug test, how about them and their luggage being soaked in the rain?

You will see those who can't afford one Heineken of beer arguing with each other Over the children of billionaires that complain about their own problems.

Which one is one sided? Watch the video before you comment. No matter the students offence, the school mgt has no right to keep them in the rain.

What do u mean by watch the video? Is that short clip of seeing rain water moving underneath boxes enough as an evidence that the compund is that of covenant Uni? How many interviews were carried out in the video of students complaining? Aren't there other things one should see in such video to have a conclusive judgement? Anyone who just believe a story hurriedly without a balanced reportage in this age and time must be very gullible.

If the story is fake, why would the students tweet it and even tagged NCDC when they know the consequences which can lead to them being expelled from the school?

I am not defending the school against the students. I'm only saying it isn't wise to make judgement on a one sided story. For fairness, let's get the other accused side to state their position as well.

If you call the people who believe in this video gullible, what will you call the people who believe in the story of a talking snake in a particular garden?

This school is over-hyped bullshitt.

you can't support Covenant University and still be blaming the government in the same breath.

the two institutions are both strong supporters of freedom of speech
