There is tension at the Queen’s Convent school Awka, Anambra state, as gateman employed by the school authorities, allegedly, impregnates three students in the college.
Queen’s Convent is owned by the Anglican Diocese of Awka, while the young gateman, it was learnt, hails from Akwa-Ibom state.
One of the girls almost committed suicide, by trying to jump down from the upstairs of the hostel, but was prevented by fellow students and teachers.
It was gathered that the impregnated students are in SS-2.
It was further gathered that the students of the college had been complaining to the school authorities over the activities of the gateman, but they refused to do anything.
The young gateman, engaged by the school authorities, puts on ear rings, with tattoos which he used in deceiving the innocent young students.
It was equally gathered that the Principal of the Anglican Convent college was the wife of the Anglican Archbishop on the Niger, Most Rev. Dr. Alexander Ibezim.
As at the time of filing this report, no decision had been taken by the school authorities regarding the future of the young girls and the randy gateman.
According to one of the teachers who spoke in confidence, ” some of us did not like the idea of bringing young men of about 28-30 years as securitymen in a female school.
“Even the students wanted old men who will treat them like their daughters, but it was a collective decision by the authorities, yet, their own daughters are not here.
“Now that this has happened,who do we blame, how will the parents of those students take it?
Meanwhile, some of the parents, while pleading anonymity,
have threatened to withdraw their wards from the school, claiming that mission schools were no longer what they used to be.
