The
Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) of Queens College, Lagos, said in Lagos on
Monday that it had set up a panel to investigate alleged sexual harassment in
the school.
Chairman of the PTA, Beatrice Akhetuanen, told a news conference
that the panel would be working with the Police Station in Sabo, Yaba to
investigate the teacher said to be perpetrating the act.
According to online report, the teacher is said to have sexually
harassed a JSS II student of the school.
The report claimed the teacher was usually drunk, and started
molesting the girl who screamed and was rescued by some of the girls, booing
him.
The student’s mother alleged that she reported the case to the
House Mistress who confirmed the teacher was in the habit of doing such and
there was nothing anyone could do to him.
She alleged that the case was also reported to the Vice
Principal but she said the teacher would not be allowed to leave the school.
That instead, her daughter would leave.
Mrs Akhetuanen said no parent had reported any sexual harassment
to the principal or vice principal and that the teacher was not living in the
school.
The PTA
chairman, however, pleaded with the aggrieved parent to come forth so that the
case could be looked into.
”The so-called parent has not shown herself, all efforts to get
her has proved abortive.
“When I tried calling the number I saw on the report, she did
not pick her call”, she said.
Earlier, the SSS III students were seen protesting, saying that
the accused had been set up by someone and was unjustly accused.
