The secondary school girls seen in a viral video smoking shisha while in their school uniforms have been identified and suspended.
They were identified as students of Oreyo Senior Grammar School, Igbogbo, Ikorodu Lagos State.
Recall that the disturbing video which trended on social media attracted wide condemnation from concerned Nigerians both at home and in the Diaspora.
The Lagos State government, through the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Youth and Social Development, subsequently, identified the female pupils and their school.
The state government has ordered for their rehabilitation with immediate effect.
The Special Adviser to the Governor on Education, Tokunbo Wahab, confirmed the development when contacted by The Nation.
Tokunbo, said “appropriate steps are being taken to address the issue with the aim of preventing future occurrence in the state.
“The appropriate ministry is already intervening. You see why the role of parents is so critical. We can’t leave everything to government and school. This is heart-wrenching.”
