State,
Rev.
Olufunke
Oladeojobi,
has
been
quizzed
by the police for allegedly conducting virginity
tests on the pupils.


PUNCH Metro learnt that Oladeojobi, who was
described as a strict disciplinarian, by her pupils
called in a nurse and jointly carried out virginity
tests on a group of 10 students last week
Monday.

It was further learnt that the principal did not
seek the consent of the parents/guardians of the
pupils before conducting the test on Senior
Secondary School 1 pupils.
During the test, it was alleged that the principal
and the nurse whose name could not be
ascertained allegedly dipped their fingers into the
pupils’ private parts.
After the exercise, which took place at the
principal’s office, each of the pupils was given an
exercise book.
A 15-year-old pupil, who identified herself simply
as Ayo, said the principal came into the classroom
on the day and announced that all female SSS 1
pupils should converge on the assembly ground.
She said the principal subsequently asked that
those who had yet to lose their virginity should
stand apart.
Ayo said, “We are over 600 in SSS 1 but only
about 300 of us are females. Those of us that are
virgins are 38 and we were matched into the
principal’s office with the assistance of members
of staff.
“They subsequently divided us into three groups
of 10, 15 and 13 and I was in the second group.
The principal later addressed us and threatened
that any pupil who fails the test would have her
name written in the school’s black book and
would be suspended.”
Ayo said she became apprehensive when
everyone who emerged from the office where the
test was being carried out came out with a sad
and disgusting look.
She said, “When my class captain emerged from
the room, I asked her why anyone that came out
of the office looked depressed? I was held spell
-bound when she told me that the principal and
the nurse dipped their fingers in turns into their
private parts, adding that she had started
bleeding as a result of the penetration.
“Just as I was asking further questions from her,
the principal dashed out of her office and
announced that she had discovered one student
who had lost her virginity out of the 10 students
that were examined.
“She wrote her name on one of the notice boards
in her office and ordered the rest of us to return
to our various classes. Two of my friends who had
similar experiences burst into tears as they narrated what happened.”
Thirteen-year-old SSS I pupil of the school,
identified simply as Ujunwa, said the principal
was happy that she was able to “catch a
promiscuous pupil” as she felt proud to discuss it
on the assembly ground the next day.
She, however, added that her joyous moments
was soon short-lived when the parents of the 10
pupils stormed the school in protest against the
development.


PUNCH Metro learnt that the pupils rebelled
against Oladeojobi last Wednesday as they did a
sit-in on the assembly ground protesting and demanding that she should be redeployed from
the school.
It was gathered that it was the teachers’
intervention that calmed the pupils.
Ujunwa said, “The parents of the girl that was
said to have lost her virginity who happens to be
a member of the Press Club and the other nine
parents besieged the school last Tuesday and
Wednesday and queried our principal for
conducting such an unauthorised test on their
children.

“The parents then came with policemen
attached to the Ajuwon Police Division where they
had reported the incident on Thursday and
arrested our principal.”
When our correspondent visited the school on
Tuesday, the school had closed for the term while
Oladeojobi’s office was shut. Her telephone rang
out while a text message sent to her phone was
not responded to.

When contacted, the Divisional Police Officer of
Ajuwon Division, Mr. Waheed Yusuf, a Chief
Superintendent of Police, confirmed the incident
to our correspondent.
He said the investigation into the matter was still
“ongoing” and declined further comment until “investigations were concluded.”
But, a policeman attached to the station who
spoke on the condition of anonymity said
Oladeojobi owned up to the incident.
He said, “She confessed that she conducted
virginity tests on the pupils and that ‘she was
trying to help them.’ We took her in for
questioning on Thursday and Friday but she was
not detained as my superiors were taking into
consideration that she is a civil servant.
“We might have some problems if she
(Oladeojobi) is to be charged to court for sexual
assault because the matter was reported to the
police late and no medical examination was
immediately done on the affected pupils to use as
a proof in the law court.”
