A Civil Society Organisation has called on the relevant authorities to immediately set up an inter-agency panel of inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the death of a female student of Premier Academy.
Tietie called on the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs and the Federal Ministry of Education to immediately look into the trend of rape and sexual molestation of girls in educational institutions. “This is because of societal and institutional silence which appears to have kept the scourge unaddressed with the required and expected tough stance of government against rape and other sexual offences.”
“There is an ongoing criminal investigation that is supposed to focus on the management of the school with its staff on the circumstances under which the girl was raped. He further called on the Federal Ministries of Education, Women’s Affairs, National Human Rights Commission and Attorney-General of the Federation to apply the relevant provisions of Child’s Rights Act and obtain an Order of Court to immediately shut down Premier Academy Lugbe.
