Principal conducts illegal Virginity tests on the pupils

The Principal of Ajuwon Senior High School in Ogun State, Rev. Olufunke Oladeojobi , has been arrested by the police for conducting illegal tests on the pupils.
Rev Oladeojobi, who was described by her pupils as a strict person,called in a nurse and jointly carried out tests on a group of 10 students last week Monday it was further learnt by Punch Metro that the principal did not seek the consent of the parents/guardians of the pupils before conducting the test on Senior Secondary School 1 pupils.
During the test, it was alleged thatthe principal and the nurse whose name could not be ascertained allegedly dipped their fingers into the pupils' private parts.
A 15-year-old pupil, who identified herself simply as Ayo, said the principal came into the classroom on the day and announced that all female SSS 1 pupils should converge on the assembly ground.
She said the principal subsequently asked that those who had yet to lose their virginity should stand apart.
Ayo said, "We are over 600 in SSS 1 but only about 300 of us are females. Those of us that are virgins are 38 and we were matched into the principal's office with the assistance of members of staff.
"They subsequently divided us into three groups of 10, 15 and 13 and I
was in the second group. The principal later addressed us and
threatened thatany pupil who fails the test wouldhave her name written
in the school's black book and would besuspended."
Ayo said she became apprehensive when everyone who emerged from the
office where the test was being carried out came out with a sad and
disgusting look.
She said, "When my class captain emerged from the room, I asked her
why anyone that came out of the office looked depressed? I was held
spell bound when she told me that the principal and the nurse dipped
their fingers in turns into their private parts, adding that she had
started bleeding as a result of the penetration.
"Just as I was asking further questions from her, the principal dashed
out of her office and announced that she had discovered one student
who had lost her virginity out of the 10 students that were examined.
"She wrote her name on one of the notice boards in her office and
ordered the rest of us to return to our various classes. Twoof my
friends who had similar experiences burst into tears as they narrated
what happened."
A thirteen-year-old SSS I pupil of the school, identified simply as Ujunwa, said the principal was happy that she was able to "catcha promiscuous pupil" as she felt proud to discuss it on the assembly ground the next day.
The reverend's joyous moments was however short-lived when the parents of the 10 pupils stormed the school in protest against the development.
The pupils rebelled against Oladeojobi last Wednesday as they did a sit-in on the assembly ground protesting and demanding that she should be redeployed from the school. It was the teachers' intervention that calmed the pupils.
Ujunwa said, "The parents of the girl that was said to have lost her virginity who happens to be a member of the Press Club and the other nine parents besieged the school last Tuesday and Wednesday and queried our principal for conducting such an unauthorised test on their children. "The parents then came with policemen attached to the Ajuwon Police Division where they had reported the incident onThursday and arrested our principal." When our correspondent visited the school on Tuesday, the school had closed for the term while Oladeojobi's office was shut. Her telephone rang out while a text message sent to her phone was not responded to. When contacted, the Divisional Police Officer of Ajuwon Division, Mr.Waheed Yusuf, a Chief Superintendent of Police, confirmed the incident.
A policeman who spoke on condition of anonimity said: "She confessed that she conducted virginity tests on the pupils and that 'she was trying to help them.'We took her in for questioning onThursday and Friday but she was not detained as my superiors were taking into consideration that she is a civil servant.
