Reactions As Chrisland School Suspends Pupil Over ‘Indecent Behaviour’ In Dubai

Some Nigerians have taken to social media to react to the suspension of a 10-year-old pupil allegedly raped by her classmates during the World School Games held in Dubai.

Ezenwoko’s Blog had earlier reported that Chrisland Schools in Victoria Garden City (VGC) had suspended the girl for taking part in“improper behaviour” after playing the truth-or-dare game.

In a letter dated April 14, 2022, the school described her as a “major participant” in indecent conduct which occurred in Dubai.

The school said other schoolmates who took part in the game had been suspended, adding that the girl and her parents did not cooperate during its investigation.

“Consequently, [name redacted) is hereby placed on indefinite suspension until you as the parents ensure that she is punished, adequately counselled and rehabilitated,” the letter read in parts.

Following the development, some Nigerians have condemned the school for suspending the lady and failing to monitor the pupils during their time in Dubai and blaming the girl’s parents.

Others blame the parents for not training their wards properly and leaving them exposed to social media.

@MohammedDBuhari wrote: “First, we should question the parenting of the two kids involved, before blaming the school authorities. The truth is a school cannot train your child, the school’s duty is education. As a parent, your duty is to give your child adequate training and discipline.”
