The Deeper Life Bible Church will later today, Tuesday, December 29th, 2020 share an update on the alleged molestation of one of its students in its school in Uyo, capital of Akwa Ibom.
AllNews Nigeria recalls that the mother of an 11-year-old student, Deborah Okezie, had in a Facebook video that went viral claimed that her son was starved and molested by his seniors after the principal moved him to their dormitory for urinating on his bed.
According to Okezie, her son told her that the senior students pushed their hands and legs into his anus while also threatening to kill him if he reported to his parents or the school principal, Solomon Ndidi, who was recently suspended over the matter
She had thereafter narrated how she was attacked at the office of the Commissioner for Education in the state, Enobong Mbobo, who had invited her and her son for questioning on the instruction of the state government.

However, the victim’s father, Iniobong Archibong, has received the medical report of his son from the hospital. He, however, noted that he would only disclose the content of the report after consultation with his lawyer.
According to Archibong, his son has not yet been discharged, saying that as soon as he is discharged, we will let the public know.
“I just got a medical report today from the hospital. I would only disclose the content of the report after consultation with my lawyer.
“He has not yet been discharged. As soon as he is discharged, we will let the public know."
Meanwhile, William Kumuyi, a cleric and head of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry was trending on Twitter, Monday, because of the sexual abuse allegation.
Most Nigerians who commented on the microblogging site called on Kumuyi to ensure the victim gets justice.
Under normal circumstances Deeper Life Secondary School should be shut down and sealed till further notice. Till this case is cleared.

INSTEAD THE CLERGY IS USING STATE FORCES TO OPPRESS THE VICTIMS!!!
PASTOR KUMUYI COME AND TELL US WHAT HAPPENED TO DON DAVIS!!!!
I cannot excuse Deeper Life from the inhumane treatment of Don Davis, it is a missionary school fgs.
The school allows for it to happen, this is likely just 1/100 making it to the media. #JusticeForDonDavis— Lekan Oriowo (@OlalekanOR) December 28, 2020
Deeper Life Church leaders should be ashamed of themselves in the poor handling of Don Davis case. This is totally unacceptable & despicable!

Churches should be a refuge for those who have experienced abuse, not vice versa.#JusticeForDonDavis

The Deeper Life High School suspended the principal of the Uyo campus as part of its investigation into the allegation, while the Akwa Ibom State government launched a separate investigation into it.
