Police Arraign Seven Deeper Life High School Suspects
The Akwa Ibom State Police Command has arraigned and charged seven suspects connected to the Deeper Life High School child molestation scandal.
The suspects, Ndidi Solomon and four others, were arraigned before a magistrates’ court, while two students mentioned were arraigned at a juvenile court.
However, contrary to the police statement, the four suspects, who were meant to be arraigned before the Uyo Magistrates’ Court could not be arraigned due to the absence of the magistrate.
Counsel for the defendants, Fidelis Igwe, said, “The police brought seven accused persons, five were staff members of the school and two of them were students and minors.
“They were not arraigned because we were informed that the chief magistrate was not around, but that she would be around tomorrow (Thursday).”
Igwe accused the police of keeping the court in the dark even to the point of arraignment.
