In the aftermath of the trending Chrisland School sex tape scandal, an international charity organisation, IA-Foundaction, has called for the comprehensive protection of kids.
The London-based charity, which is active in Nigeria, made the call while reacting to the latest Chrisland School scandal, involving pupils of the school in faraway Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
The Chief Executive Officer of the foundation, Ibironke Adeagbo, who spoke on the issue in the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Thursday said every Nigerian school should promptly put child protection policies in place to ensure adequate protection of pupils while in the confines of schools.
“We use this opportunity to dissuade parents from giving their children and wards unfettered access to the internet.
“We also commend the Lagos State Government for swinging into action by opening up an inquiry into the incident.’’
The Lagos State Government immediately closed down the Chrisland Schools after the leaked sex tape and began an investigation in conjunction with the Lagos State Police Command.
However, Adeagbo has appealed for immediate re-opening of the school, saying that further delay would affect the education of other pupils of the school, who had been forced to stay out of school because of the closure of their school.
“IA-Foundation also calls on government at all levels to invest heavily in safeguarding children while in school by ensuring that teachers are given regular training on child-protection policies,’’ she said.
