Queen’s College: PTA urges Oshifala’s accuser to be ready to face panel
The Parents/Teachers Association (PTA) of Queen’s College, Yaba, has appealed to Chinenye Okoye, the supposed mother of the JSS2 pupil allegedly molested by a teacher, to come and pick her letter of invitation to appear before the ministerial panel set up to investigate the matter from its office.
The panel set up by the Minister of State for Education, Prof. Anthony Onwuka, to investigate the allegation of sexual molestation levelled against Mr. Olaseni Oshifala, a biology teacher in the school, is to begin its investigation at the school on Wednesday.
Chinenye Okoye, who sent the story to blogger, Olorisupergal, is one of those expected to appear before the panel to give evidence concerning the allegations. The Principal of the college, Dr. Lami Amodu, other principal officers, leaders of the Association of the Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN), the umbrella union of teachers of the school, the PTA, old girls, among others, are also to appear before the panel.
Chairman of the PTA, Mrs. Beatrice Akhetuamen and two other members of the executive, Mr. Femi Agunu, and Mr. Richard Ugwuka, said on Monday, that a letter addressed to the woman had been sent to the PTA.
However, Mrs. Akhetuamen said that the PTA had no record of Chinenye Okoye as a parent on its database, and therefore had no one to deliver the letter to.
“There is one Okoye is JSS2 but her mother is not Chinenye. We are appealing to her to come and collect her letter,” she said.
Mrs. Akhetuamen also questioned the authenticity of the story, which had gone viral, since it was posted on the social media penultimate Saturday.
