<p>Olayinka made the call following the circulation of a video showing schoolchildren participating in a religious programme and allegedly praying in tongues while being filmed.</p>
<p>Reacting to the incident, Olayinka said the school headmaster should be held accountable for allowing the programme take place within the school premises.</p>
<p>According to him, “public schools are meant for academic activities and should not be used for programmes capable of promoting a particular religion or denomination among pupils”.</p>
<p>He argued that permitting such activities in a government-owned school raises concerns about adherence to established regulations guiding the administration of public educational institutions.</p>
<p>The video, which has generated reactions on social media, showed a pastor leading the pupils during the programme while some of the children appeared to be praying in tongues.</p>
<p>As of the time of filing this report, education authorities had not issued an official statement on the matter.</p>
