Police have arrested Mr. Olaseni Osifala, a teacher accused of sexually harassing a student of Queen’s College, Yaba, Lagos.

 Osifala, a source said, was arrested on Tuesday and detained at the state Police Command Headquarters, Ikeja, in connection with the allegation.
But when contacted on the phone yesterday, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Dolapo Badmos, denied that the police had arrested Osifala. Badmos said police were intensifying their investigation into the allegation. But the PPRO agreed that Osifala was still with the police at 9:10p.m yesterday.
She said: “We have not arrested or detained Mr. Osifala. We are only interrogating him.” At 9:20pm, Osifala’s phone number was switched off. Also yesterday, schism appeared in the rank of teachers of the school, over the allegation levelled against Osifala.
The school’s chapter of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) suddenly called off its planned protest in Osifala’s defence following the insistence by some members that they could not defend what they described as illegality.
