Management's position

The statement disclosed that 76 students represented the school at the games and that only five including the 10-year-old girl were discovered to have allegedly disregarded the school code of conduct during the trip.

Speaking on the allegation of a pregnancy test carried out on the female pupil, as alleged by the mother of the girl, the school management explained that it only conducted COVID-19 tests on the students when they returned from the said trip in accordance with laid down protocols by the federal government.

The statement reads in part:

“We were, however, compelled to engage with the parents of the remaining students who unfortunately got themselves involved in misconduct, and in accordance with our code of conduct processes, which are well known to the parents, we meted out measured reprimands to them to instill a sense of discipline and as deterrence to others. This was also to caution our students on the need to remain on the path of resisting wrong influences.
