Four teachers of Chrisland School in Lagos have been arraigned for allegedly concealing a sex tape involving one of its students.
The staff members — three male and a female — were docked on Tuesday at a Yaba chief magistrate court in Lagos.
The police charged Oladotun Sotunde, 56; Elesho Tajudeen; 32, Rhoda Olanipekun; 45, and Ajigboye Hammed, 41, with two counts of conspiracy and attempt to pervert justice , to which they pleaded not guilty.
The defendants were asked to chaperone the students to Dubai for a world school game where the students engaged in indecent sexual acts while on the trip, and a student made a sex tape which the teachers allegedly conspired to conceal.
The prosecutor said the teachers allegedly obstructed the course of justice by hiding the indecent acts of the students’ sex video before it later went viral, an offence, which contravenes the provisions of 411 and 97 (1) (3) of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State, 2015 (revised).
Section 97 provides seven years imprisonment for the offence of attempting to pervert justice while Section 411 provides two years for conspiracy.
Adeola Adedayo, the chief magistrate, admitted the defendants to bail in the sum of N300,000 each with three responsible sureties each in like sum.
She held that the sureties must submit copies of their National Identification Number (NIN), and their Lagos State Residents Registration Agency (LASRRA) card and must be landowners, residing in Lagos
