There is tension at the Queen’s Convent School Awka, the capital of Anambra State, following claims that a gateman employed by the school officials had pregnant three college students.
The Anglican Diocese of Awka owns the school, which is located in the Ifite neighborhood of Awka.
According to reports, the young gateman is from Akwa Ibom State, and the afflicted children are in Senior Secondary Two (SS 2).
When the bubble broke, one of the pregnant girls attempted to commit herself by jumping from the hostel’s upper floor, but was stopped by fellow students and staff.
It was also learned that the students of the institution had complained to the school administration about the gateman’s activities, but their complaints were apparently ignored.
The gatekeeper was believed to always wear ear rings and flaunt body tattoos to deceive gullible, innocent college students.
It was also learned that the college’s principal is the wife of the Anglican Archbishop of Niger, Most Rev. Dr. Alexander Ibezim.
The school authorities had made no decision regarding the future of the young ladies or the randy gateman as of the time of reporting this report.
“Some of us did not like the idea of bringing young men of about 28-30 years as security men in a female school,” said one of the instructors who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
“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 the bubble has burst, whom do we blame? How will the parents of those students take it?” the source asked rhetorically.
