Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, will decide the fate of the Principal, Ajuwon Senior High School, Rev. Olufunke Aladeojobi, and the school nurse, Mrs. M.B. Afolabi, who allegedly conducted virginity tests on pupils of the school.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the three-man review panel of top civil servants set up by the state government to appraise the recommendations made by the panel of inquiry that investigated the incident has submitted its report.

It was learnt that the panel submitted a three-page evaluation report to the state Ministry of Education, Science and Technology at about 2pm on Monday.
Commissioner in charge of the ministry, Mr. Segun Odubela, confirmed to our correspondent on Monday that he had received the report of the review panel headed by the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Mr. Ambaliu Ishola.
Odubela said, “I received the report of three-man review panel saddled with the evaluation of the recommendations contained in the 27-page report made by the five-man panel that investigated the incident, shortly after the state executive council meeting.
“It’s a three-page report and the members of the panel just did an assessment of the previous report and also made some other recommendations. As I am speaking with you I’m supervising the packaging of the two reports for onward dispatch to the governor’s office for his express approval of the recommendations.”
Asked to highlight some of the recommendations pertaining to the fate of Aladeojobi, who had been placed on suspension since December 19, Odubela said, “I can’t let you in on that because the state governor has yet to approve the punishment recommended for her. Her fate will be decided by the governor in few days’ time and that will be made public.
