Nigerians who shared sex tape face imprisonment

Nigerians have been warned that sharing images of child pornography is an offence that carries a 14-year jail term after a video allegedly involving schoolchildren went viral. Students from a prestigious school were on a trip to Dubai last month when the alleged incident was filmed. According to the school, pupils took part in a game of ‘truth or dare’ during the World School Games in March. BBC News reports that the mother of a 10-year-old said her daughter was coerced into participating. The Lagos state government has ordered the school’s closure so the alleged sexual violence case can be investigated. Chrisland Schools has denied any wrong doing, saying it will co-operate with any inquiry. The school added that it had informed parents of the incident and the students were reprimanded in accordance with the school’s regulations.
