The student accused the school management of lying to their parents by assuring them of their safety amidst the pandemic.
She alleged that the institution abandoned students under rain, without concern for their perishable belonging.
They brought out only 2 canopies to search and test us. We were so many! Rain fell and they left us under the rain. Our provisions were destroyed and our luggages soaked to the last.

The student also alleged that one of the staff of the school said the founder of the institution, who is the general overseer of Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners’ Chapel International), Bishop David Oyedepo is praying Incase anyone get infected.
One of the staffs even said that if any of us is infected, that we should not worry that papa is praying. That we should forget COVID-19.

And to top it all, in the hostels, we are FOUR in a room! FOUR! No difference from every other semester before COVID-19
