I don’t know how to start. My son is 15 years old, currently in SS2, and he has been in boarding school since Primary 5. I’ve always trusted the school,it has a reputation for high discipline, moral standards, and excellence.
Over the December 2025 holidays, I started noticing some very worrying behaviors. At first, it seemed minor, like play, but I became more observant and realized he had been pooing in his trousers. He was using diapers/Pampers, and I could see that this wasn’t normal behavior for a 15-year-old.
When I confronted him gently, he didn’t want to speak at first. But eventually, after seeing my concern and persistence, he shared that he had been harmed while at school. The behavior started “like a game” but escalated, and he didn’t feel safe to tell anyone until now.
I was terrified. To avoid sexual immorality was why we sent him to an all-boys school in the first place, I was shocked to hear this, the reality is hard to accept.
I could not believe this was happening in a school known for outstanding moral discipline. I took him to the hospital and he was diagnosed of, Encopresis amongst others that i wouldn’t want you to post on your page but I’ve attached the results to this message, Sis, so that you will understand what’s really going on in full.
I immediately sought professional counseling for both him and myself, because I was overwhelmed with fear, worry, and anxiety.
We also reported the matter to the authorities. Since the school reopened, the investigation has been unfolding. The students involved began confessing and identifying others, revealing a larger network of harmful behavior.
As of last week ehn,
1. Two students were questioned and revealed the involvement of three more
2. The three more revealed five others
3. Each step uncovered more information about the scope of the situation
This experience has shaken me to my core. I’ve been crying and worrying constantly, but I knew I had to act. Even a school with high moral standards can have hidden dangers.
I’m sharing this because parents need to be vigilant. Observation, questioning, and quick action are critical. This could happen anywhere, even in institutions we trust.
Sis Yinka Please help me raise awareness so other parents and children can be safe. Children’s well-being must come first.

I cried as i read that message, this is much!
For me at first this was unbelievable until I saw the authority reports and other evidences she sent, because i don’t pay attention to stories without evidences, except on very rare occasions where proof can still be gotten.

E jor, shey we should start questioning how safe boarding schools really are ni? Ah, eleyi por o.
What was your experience as a boarding school student?
DISCLAIMER:
This story was shared with me by a concerned parent for awareness purposes. Names and identities are intentionally withheld. You don’t expect me to add those. The aim is to encourage vigilance and child safety, not to accuse or defame any institution
This is a call to all parents to carry these huge responsibilities, i know it’s not easy, may God help you all in training those children in the right part and path. Amen!
