Many
stakeholders have picked hole in the story of the allegation of child molestation
against a teacher at the Queen’s College, Yaba, Mr. Olaseni Osifala, lambasting
the owner of the blog for what they described as the abuse of social media
platform.
A report had
gone viral at the weekend accusing the teacher, who the reporter described as
an Integrated Science teacher and who allegedly lives close to the pupils’
hostel, of attempting to rape her daughter.
The accuser,
simply identified as Mrs. Chineye, said in the report that she had reported to
the college’s Vice-Principal, who she simply identified as Mrs. Kayode, who she
claimed had called her bluff, saying the accused cannot be tried.
But in his response
to the allegation, Osifala, whose telephone number was unavailable at the time
of filing this report, wrote on his Facebook page thus; “To all friends worldwide,
the story post against me is a fiction as the writer is faceless. The
management has investigated the story and found all these to be dubious. It is
just hatred, and mere product of jealousy. Help me to make my situation known
to the entire world. They are just out to destroy my integrity. I am a
celebrated teacher in the college with many awards over a period of about 13 years
now.”
Also, many of
his colleagues and friends, who have taken to his Facebook page, have described
the allegation as a figment of the accuser’s imagination, saying apart from the
fact that the school does not have Integrated Science as a subject, the teacher
concerned does not teach junior classes.
In her post, the
Chairman of the school’s branch of the Parent-Teachers’ Association (PTA), Mrs.
Beatrice Akhetuamen said; “I am the PTA Chairman of Queens College. I have
known this man in question for almost six years and he is very diligent in his
duties and his students that he taught Biology and the ones he still teaches
can attest to this. He does not live in the college and had never taught in the
junior school. He does not touch alcohol. I was in Ghana with him for
Kings/Queens /Achimota games, I never saw him drink. This is the handiwork of
detractors because he is always given responsibilities for his diligence.”
They, therefore,
challenged the accuser to approach a competent security agency for proper
report and that her real identity should be revealed.
