One of the directors of Premiere Academy Mr kayode Akintunde has described the decision of the National Human Rights Commission to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of a student of the school,Karen Happuch as a welcome development.
He said “the decision of the “NHRC” to take over the investigation of Karen Happuch rape issue is a welcome development because it is becoming clearer that the leader of the center for gender based violence respondents Mr Lemmy Ughegbe is more interested in destroying the Premiere Academy than what he is professing”.
“We are mourning the death of one of our students, looking for ways to unravel the circumstances that led to her death so that the culprit can be exposed and punished, but Mr Ughegbe just came in, castigating the school authority, the police, the DSS, he even said armed thugs came to his house threatening his life and that of his family”.
As parents, Mr Akintunde said nobody is happy about the sad incident, ” but when I now heard that Mr Ughegbe also has a school in our neighborhood here in Lugbe,then I wondered that this man should understand how the management would feel when something like this happens or does he want to destroy the school so that his own school can grow? Must you destroy others to grow?”.
He added that Mr Ughegbe labeled the school as den of rapists and that the school authority are shielding the perpetrators” but how can one establish a high profile school like this and indulge in such immorality?.
“Our mission here is to nurture dependable future leaders, since the past 15 years Premiere Academy has produced great people who are excelling in their various field of endeavors, Mr Ughegbe should fear God, this blackmail is more than enough”.
Akintunde advised Mr Ughegbe to provide the NHRC with whatever evidence in his possession, “he should stop hopping from one television station to another in his new celebrity status and the financial gratifications that may follow and let the law take its course and the culprit exposed and punished”
