Deborah Okezie, the mother of the student of Deeper Life
High School in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state, allegedly assaulted, has revealed that
another parent told her that her child was also physically attacked.
Okezie brought the revelation to light in a recent Facebook
live session while providing an update on her son’s health.
She, however, said the mother turned down her request to
join in the campaign to unearth what transpired in the school because her
husband, a pastor at the church, opposed the idea.
Okezie explained that her quest for justice was not just for
her son but for other students of the Christian school who experienced similar
situations but didn’t make the headlines.
“It’s not just about my child, it’s about the other children
there. My son is the voice that had been heard of but I’m fighting for other
children,” she said.
“One of the parents in the school sent me a text message and
equally called me. She said her child came back with a broken hand after Mr.
Akpan hit him.
“I then asked ‘why not join me to correct things?’ She
replied no because her husband is a Deeper Life Pastor and he has said no to
it. So, when you have things like this in place, there is little or nothing you
can do.”
Okezie said it was unfortunate that while the school boasts
of impressive academic standards, it ranks poorly when it comes to ensuring the
well-being of the students.
TheCable Lifestyle earlier reported how Okezie claimed that
her son was starved and molested by some senior students of the school after
the principal had moved him to their dormitory for urinating on his bed.
The development had since sparked heated outrage, with many
calling out the school’s management as well as the leadership of the Deeper
Life Bible Church.
Amid the dust trailing Okezie’s revelation, the church had
on Tuesday announced that it would address the public on the matter.
