Pandemonium broke out at the weekend at the Federal Girls’ College, (FGC) in Akure, the Ondo State capital, following an alarm raised by students that two of their cooks were allegedly picking their used sanitary pads for unknown purpose.
DAILY POST authoritatively gathered that the suspects were allegedly caught by the students at their dustbins on Friday, which was a day to their “Visiting Day”.
The boarding students, who were in Junior Secondary School (JSS) three and the Senior Secondary School (SSS) three were preparing for the their Junior and Senior West Africa Examination Council (WAEC).
Other students are on holiday break.
It was learnt that the aggrieved students quickly reported the matter to one of their teachers, who informed the Principal about the issue.
Already, the two suspects have been suspended by the School Principal, Mrs. Florence Ejikeme and had been handed over to police for proper investigation.
The students, were said to have attempted to stage a protest that Friday, but they were calmed by the chairman of the Parents Teachers Association of the school, Mr. Akin Ashimolowo.
The matter turned another dimension on their “Visiting Day” as parents were seen protesting against the management of the school.
One of the parents was said to have called the Police Area commander, who immediately arrived the school.
The students were said to have vowed not to eat the food prepared by the cooks.
Though, it was not yet clear if the suspects were using the used sanity pad for themselves or selling them for spiritual purposes, a parent anonymously said the suspects had confessed to the crime at the police station .
She said one of the suspects is a wife of a prominent politician in the state and may want to use their ‘connections’ to sweep the matter under the carpet, adding that her child told her that it was not the first time such a thing would be happening in the school and nothing was being done.
She said ” the question we want to ask the police is that, where did they ( suspects) keep all the sanitary pads they have been taking since all these days? Who sent them, who are they working for ? ”
The State Police Public Relations Officers, Mr. Femi Joseph, who confirmed the incident, said only two of the women were in the police custody.
He added that the command had commenced investigation into the matter.
Na wah o.
ReplyDeletePoor girls. TThey'llnow grow up and start ttc, running from hospitals to pastors, to babalawo. God punish those people!
DeleteClick my name for all your celebration cakes and cupcakes, cheers
This same thing was happening in so many other pro unitate schools na. Even some universities sef. They use the pass for rituals, it's accounts for y some women can't get pregnant, so I heard. God help your children.
DeleteIt is Federal Government Girls' College (FGGC), Akure and not Federal Girls College (FGC). Abeg correct the error Abi Na akara school you go? Come on Madam Stells
DeleteSuspect is wife of a prominent politician? Is she a staff of the school? Cos they said suspects have been suspended. I thought they were fellow students at first.
DeleteAnyway this is rather strange o. They had better investigate this properly for the sake of those girls whose pad has been used. No one will know the consequences now until much later.. and by that time it would be hard to trace the perpetrators to seek Redemption. Funny story
Disgusting!
ReplyDeleteI rem my experience in ds schl. First hand lesbian action by married teachers. It was like a movie.
DeleteWe live by Gods grace alone.
ReplyDeleteNo where is safe again. Your children in school, at home, our safety lies in Christ alone. I pray this is not swept too under any carpet

They shld be made to confess who they are working for, and if there's none, they shld be stoned to death.
ReplyDeleteWicked people.
Uwadiegwu!
ReplyDeleteThis is a serious allegation. God help ladies
ReplyDeleteand dis is y I always flush used pads down d toilet...weda it causes a blockage or not
ReplyDeletePls burn it instead
DeleteI burn them
DeleteAbeg burn it and stop blocking drainages and pipes.
DeleteYou are very Stupid!!I hope its your pesonal house!!Foool
DeleteYou can flush it. Peel the outer net covering with the white nylon that gums your pant, leaving only the cotton wool part. Flush the cotton wool part and rinse the net/nylon with soap when you're baffing. It's easy to clean and dries immediately. Then throw it in a bin.
Delete@11:38 abeg that process is long. They should simply discard it by burning it or by throwing it in the dump after concealing it well. Not unless a mad person or a scavenger is out to open every thrash will they find it. Just wrap in a used box or several other things and dispose it.
DeleteMay God protect us from the evil ones
ReplyDeleteWicked world. So even in school our kids are not safe? This is how they destroy destinies.
ReplyDeleteWell I never used to take all this things seriously, but my prayer is always that anybody that picks my used pad from the bin is a mad man, Pls Lord may they continue to remain mad,anybody that wants to turn himself to rat to enter my house Pls Lord let their lives forever be ratlike in all they do may they never have it full but always in nibbles. Etc etc. Amen
ReplyDeleteAmen. In Jesus name. AMEN n AMEN

ReplyDeleteLolzz @Holy Ghost I retrieve my pad in Jesus name..
DeleteMay God save us.
But with all this, the girls may be blamed in some cases. I went to a federal girls college too and most of the time, we see used pad everywhere in the hostel. I think parents shld educate their girl child on the proper disposal of used pad cuz we females especially in our teenage age are very carefree and careless with disposal of used pad.
Are u even complaining about secondary school girls? What about uni girls who drops their sanitary pad roll in a black nylon anywhere, because cleaners dey your school? The only thing that can be disposed carelessly is baby diaper cos it has poo. But a sanitary pad with BLOOD? It should be disposed properly. Better open it, flush the absorbent cotton they watch the nylon clean and drop inside the bin. Many will roll the pad and drop inside dustbin. Do u know where those cleaner are dumping it. Likely incinerator or herbalist. We don't know may God save us.

ReplyDeleteThe O people and juju and rituals
ReplyDeleteSMH
Oh gracious God!
ReplyDeleteIt is not today, this thing has been happening. I am not surprised.
ReplyDeleteMy prayers is that God should continue to protect his children from bondage.
God help us
ReplyDeleteWat a crazy world we live in.. Anybody wen say na my used sanitary pad e won dey use make money na Die e go die ooo
ReplyDeleteGod! I attended feggicola. (green house) and graduated in 2008. They can't burn their pads bcos they have no access to matches or any alternative. Those are contraband. It is well! Prayer is the key.
ReplyDeleteOma
Some guys are making million out of it in PH and they have recruited some people to be picking used pads and condoms for rituals too.
ReplyDeleteWith this news, that means what one man narrated in Kano State was TRUE, Women, LADIES, YOUNG GIRLS AND BOYS, ETC PLEASE ENdeavour you burn your used pads after your period is over, yes, you can keep them in a secretive place before burning them. MEN DO NOT THROW your used condoms in a waste-bin. So many infertility among us and we do not know where its coming from.
God has finally exposed them. BURN YOUR USED PADS/CONDOMS THAT'S THE MESSAGE IN KANO STATE.
This has been going on for a very long time! Cleaners advised us to wrap it very tiny in a nylon or paper bag and mix it well with the trash, that it will be difficult for these kind of people to spot it. They send small children who went on errands for us in the hostel. A woman that was looking for a male child far back in the 90's went to a shrine out of desperation, she was given something to chew on, when it tasted funny, she looked at it very well and saw that it was a piece of dried menstrual pad! She threw it away and pitied her life!
ReplyDeleteOMG. How gross!!! Ewwwwwwww!!!!!!!
DeleteBlood of God. The suspect should be thoroughly investigated.
ReplyDeleteOur help is in the name of our Lord who made heaven and earth. To Thy patronage oh Lord I fly...
ReplyDeleteTheir used pad is supposed to be thrown into d pit latrine,I also went to a boarding school n that was how I used to dispose mine then.God save us in ds country
ReplyDeleteThis is the exact reason why I used to flush my pads down the toilet, but when my toilet pipes ended up blocked, i resorted to another way which may sound disgusting to you. I wear rubber gloves and rinse all the blood out of my pads and then dispose of them.
ReplyDeleteHeeez my blood not yours.
Besides, I wear deezposable gloves.
What will the wife of a prominent politician be doing in a school kitchen? Isn't it obvious.... May God protect our children n wards in schools.Amen.
ReplyDeleteAaahhh! God forbid bad thing
ReplyDeleteGod have mercy
ReplyDeleteI attended FGGC Owerri, I think we had a specially dug out pit where the pads are incinerated every week
ReplyDeleteFeggicolla. The school of good and bad.
ReplyDeleteI remember the day abi night that I saw Mr Man.
We were all asleep. Middle of the night oh. One of the many "Mr man" that used to plague the school like a virus.
I screamed in shock and he ran off. Black tall man like this with one manic grin.
With Vaseline over his body.
My kids can never go to any useless federal or govt boarding school.
Ohhhhhh!!!! I still remember Mr man. I was in green house.
DeleteAre you sure you saw him? Feggicolla girls had overactive imagination back then...
DeletePls read my comment again.
DeleteBad memory. Shudders. I can never forget.
And people used to wonder when i would pieces my pad and flush the inner wool, and wash off blood from the outer part and throw that one in the bin. No time
ReplyDeleteThe same thing happened in FGGC Benin where i schooled. The man we call "generator man" was caught severally picking people's pads. On reporting to school principal then , she shoved it aside and never did anything about it. It wasn't just generator man doing that, some other non academic staffs were involved too. There's too much negligence in these our schools. May God save us all. Also I remember a case that happened in University of Benin, a cleaner was caught doing the same thing. On accosting her she cried and wailed that they were telling lies against her and the matter was swept under the carpet. #ignoreanytypos#justincasethereare
