Two secondary schools where the teachers worked are the All Souls’ Grammar School in Ado Ekiti and Osi Grammar School, Osi Ekiti, in the Ido/Osi Local Government Area.

The police spokesperson said,

The suspects, who were alleged to have had sexual intercourse with the pupils, one from the Osi Grammar School and two from the All Souls’ Grammar School, are in our custody and they are giving us useful information.

We have invited the victims to give useful information to us. But as of now, the victim from the Osi Grammar School denied the allegation while being interrogated.

But, we are not resting on that; we will get to the root of the matter.

Abutu told journalists that the police had already invited the victims from the All Souls’ Grammar School for interrogation, adding that they had yet to provide any information on the matter.
