Valencia School Counters Allegations, Says Former Student’s Claims Omit Key Facts

The management of Valencia School has responded to allegations made on social media by a former student, describing the claims as misleading and lacking necessary context.

The allegations, now trending on X, were made by Mr. Oluwaferanmi Ojo, who referenced an incident he said occurred in September 2016.

The school, however, clarified that the matter is already before a competent court in Oyo State and remains unproven pending judicial review.

In an official statement issued on March 18, 2026, the institution expressed concern over what it described as an attempt to tarnish its long-standing reputation through a one-sided public narrative.

The school emphasized its over ten years of commitment to academic excellence and student development, cautioning the public against drawing conclusions from incomplete social media accounts.

Providing additional context, the school explained that the incident being referenced stemmed from misconduct involving the student, who allegedly made derogatory comments about the school’s proprietor on a WhatsApp group that included students from various schools.

According to management, the remarks were considered disrespectful and had broader implications due to the forum in which they were shared.

Education observers say this detail introduces a different angle to the issue, suggesting that disciplinary factors may have been involved, contrary to what is being circulated online.

They also note that the family’s continued association with the school after the alleged incident raises questions about the seriousness of the claims now being publicly presented.

Stakeholders in the education sector have advised caution, urging the public to allow the judicial process to run its full course.

They warned against resolving sensitive matters through online debates, where context is often incomplete and narratives can be distorted.

As the case proceeds in court, attention is expected to shift from social media commentary to verifiable evidence and legal arguments, which will ultimately determine the credibility of the allegations and responses.
