A video evidence, describing in detail the harrowing accounts of students who were allegedly sexually assaulted by a male teacher at the Babs Fafunwa Millennium Senior Secondary School in Lagos State, has emerged.

The scandal involved allegations of sexual abuse of at least 11 female students by a Further Mathematics teacher identified as Mr. Egberongbe Adegbenga Toheeb.

In the disturbing video interview uploaded by Vanguard Newspaper, one of the victims narrated how the abuse started when she was in Senior Secondary 1 class.

According to her, the teacher initially pretended to help her improve her mathematics scores but later pressured her to meet him at a hotel near Alagbon bus stop.

Another student detailed how he cornered her in a classroom, removed his belt, and attempted to assault her before she managed to escape.

“It was during the Assembly we were inside the ICT LAB, the place was very stuff and dark and we said sir, should I open the window? He said, Yes. I opened the first window, the second window.

Suddenly somebody grabbed me from the back, he grabbed my waist. He turned me back with force and started kissing me. I said please stop, I have never done this.

I said that continuously, he held my hands tightly and started removing his belt. He took off his belt, and backed me to the table. So he carried my skirt up, and started pushing me to the table. I started crying, shivering and left.

Then I wanted to scream but he said I should not worry and asked me to sit down. I sat down, and he now asked me a question, that am I a virgin? I said yes, I am a virgin. And he said, I want to be the man to deflower you.

He said that he wants me to be his girlfriend. That if I become his girlfriend, he will give me more marks in mathematics and even in other subjects. I was scared and was just saying ‘Okay sir, Okay sir’.

He said, ‘Don’t tell anybody because if I am embarrassed, you too will be embarrassed.”

Another victim said:

“He told me to open the window and as I was about to open it, he pushed me and tried to kiss me. And I was pushing him, until SS1 students entered. He left me and I ran outside.”

In April, SaharaReporters reported how the school management actively attempted to cover up the abuse of at least 11 girls by the randy teacher.

This was disclosed in audio recordings which showed the victims narrating their ordeal at the hands of the disgraced teacher.

The revelation eventually led to the state government’s arrest and arraignment of the school principal, Osunrinde Omotayo Abiodun.

According to reports, it was learnt further that the state government had redeployed a new principal, Mr Oluwatoto Oluwafemi, to take over the school’s running.

It was also reported that some teachers at the school have been accused of extorting students taking the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

Multiple students from the school told SaharaReporters that teachers are collecting N500 per subject from them under the guise of providing them with answers, commonly known as “expo.”

“They gave us ‘expo’ during the exam. After our exam one day, they called us outside and told us that we shouldn’t tell people about them giving us ‘expo.’”

Another student narrated how the scheme is being run.

“We paid N500 each for ‘expo’ during the Civic exam. After the Civic exam, they expected us to pay again for Marketing,”

the student said.

It was gathered that students who cannot pay the N500 fee are coerced or threatened. Sometimes, the teachers allegedly disrupt the exams for students who refuse to pay.

According to one of the students, when they refused to pay, the teachers threatened to make life difficult for them in the days left to conclude their examinations.

“And it’s not like the ‘expo’ (answers) that they’re giving us are correct,” the student said.
