The management of the Vivian Fowler Memorial College for Girls has released a statement stating that Lizzy, the 26 year old lady rescued by Lagos Pastor Tony Rapu, didn’t attend the school.
While speaking with Pastor Tony Rapu in the 2 minute documentary, Lizzy revealed that she attended the two private schools: Caleb and Vivian Fowler.
She said:
“I couldn’t visit any rehabilitation because I thought it wouldn’t help. I started with weed smoking, then one day, my boyfriend told me he had been adding cocaine and I was surprised. I asked him why he would do such without my consent, but it wasn’t long before I got addicted to it.
It became so critical that I had to take to begging at day and prostitution at night. I attended Caleb Nursery and Primary School and Vivian Fowler Secondary School.
“I have been hearing of Tony Rapu, but missed seeing him earlier when he came to our community (Ikeja), he came for Bukky then. I have been waiting for this day when I would meet him. I know he is the only one that can help me get over this.”
But now, in an official statement, the school has revealed that upon finding out her full names and checking their records, they couldn’t find a match. It however went ahead to state that it would work with the freedom foundation to ensure her successful rehabilitation.

Pastor Rapu, while revealing the meeting with Lizzy wrote on his Instagram page:
We picked up Lizzy over the weekend. Here, she tells a bit of her story while awaiting our arrival at the joint she frequented in Ikeja. Lizzy tells about her upbringing, her addiction to crack cocaine and the depraved night life she lived to make money to pay the drug dealers.
She is currently undergoing her first stage of detox and rehabilitation in the long journey out of addiction. We hope and pray she returns to a normal and productive life afterwards.
