Activities at the school have now return to what they used to be.
Daily events at Queen's College,
Yaba, Lagos, have normalized, following the storm whipped up in the
past few days concerning the alleged sexual assault of a student by Mr. Olaseni Oshifala, a teacher in the school.
A
parent, whose child was allegedly molested by a drunk Mr. Oshifala,
blew the whistle on the internet over the weekend, bringing the matter
to the attention of the media, and public. Negative reactions aroused
swiftly as ex-students of the school posted tweets in support of the claim, culminating in a peaceful protest in front of the school premises on Monday, 21 March 2016.

However, following the protests and outbursts, Pulse
gathered that activities at the school have now return to what they
used to be. According to an anonymous source, academic activities are
reduced, though, since the students have finished their exams, now
waiting to go home for Easter holidays.
Pulse
also gathered that Osifala is still a teacher in the school and no
action has been taken to detain or suspend him pending conclusion of
investigations.

It is expected that
the holidays would be used to properly investigate and clarify what
truly went down; as some students and people from other quarters
maintained that the teacher is innocent, and is only being victimized,
while others, most conspicuously some former students on twitter, and
the Old Girls Association of Queens College (QCOGA) maintain that the
embattled teacher is culpable, as he has a long unchecked history of
molesting students.

While allegations and denials rumble on, the Federal Ministry of Education has waded into the matter,
alongside the school management and the PTA who have already combined
forces to investigate the matter. Authorities of the college have also
reportedly invited the police to probe allegation, which explains the
Police van stationed outside the school at the time our correspondent
visited the school earlier today.
The accused
teacher, Mr. Oshifala, who tags the accusation as an antic of his
enemies, is reportedly billed to visit the police station with the
school’s principal, Lami Amodu.
