Mr. Sunday Adeyemi, an Ibadan school owner, is said to have flee with monies intended for pupils’ WAEC and NECO exam fees, jeopardising their educational opportunities.
Adejoke Lasisi, the founder of Planet 3R, revealed the terrible news on Facebook.
According to her post, many parents had gone to great lengths, even borrowing money, to ensure their children could take these crucial exams.
However, their hopes were shattered when they discovered that the school had not registered their children for the exams despite collecting the fees.
Adejoke’s post was fueled by both anger and personal experience, as her younger brother had once been a victim of a similar incident. Fortunately, her family managed to rally support and funds to re-register him for the exams.
The school owner’s actions were described as a betrayal of trust, especially considering he had operated “The Lord’s Favour” school for more than two decades.
It was revealed that Mr. Adeyemi had allegedly sold off his properties, including his home and the school itself, to finance his escape abroad, leaving the students and parents in a state of disbelief and hardship.
Adejoke concluded her post by emphasizing that while everyone has the right to seek opportunities abroad, it should not be at the expense of others, especially when it involves breaching trust and jeopardizing the futures of innocent students.
