Three male and a female teacher of the Chrisland School Lagos, were on Tuesday arraigned before a Yaba Chief Magistrates’ Court in Lagos for allegedly concealing a sex tape of a student.
The teachers arraigned by the police were Oladotun Sotunde, aged 56; Elesho Tajudeen, aged 32; Rhoda Olanipekun, aged 45; and Ajigboye Hammed, aged 41.
The Chrisland Schools teachers were charged with two counts of conspiracy and attempt to pervert justice.
They, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The Police officer in charge of the Legal department at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) Panti, Mrs Yetunde Cardoso, appeared with Mr Augustine Nwabuisi for the prosecution.
Cardoso said that the defendants committed the offence on April 25, 2022, at Chrisland School in Victoria Garden City, Idimu, Lagos State.
She said that the defendants were asked to chaperone the students to Dubai for a world school games.
The police officer said the students engaged in indecent sexual acts while on the trip and a 10-year-old student made a sex tape which the teachers conspired to conceal.
Cardoso stated that the teachers allegedly obstructed the course of justice by hiding the indecent act of the students’ sex video before it later went viral.
The offence, she said, contravene the provisions of 411 and 97 (1) (3) of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State, 2015 (Revised).

Section 97 provides seven years imprisonment for the offence of attempting to pervert justice while Section 411 provides two years for conspiracy.
According to NAN, the Chief Magistrate, Adeola Adedayo, admitted the defendants to bail in the sum of N300,000 each with three responsible sureties each in like sum.
She held that the sureties must submit copies of their National Identification Number (NIN), and their Lagos State Residents Registration Agency (LASRRA) card.
She further directed that one of the sureties must be a land owner, but all of them must be residing within the court’s jurisdiction and be gainfully employed with evidence of three years tax payment to the Lagos State Government.
Adebayo ruled that the case file be duplicated and sent to the Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP) for legal advice.
She, therefore, adjourned the case until June 13 for mention.
