A High Court sitting in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State capital, has
struck out the charge of alleged sexual abuse and molestation of the Deeper
Life High School Uyo student, Don-Davies Archibong by some senior students and
some teachers in the school.
This was following a settlement between the two parties,
which was upheld by the court.
The presiding Judge, Justice Ntong Ntong said by the terms
of the settlement, the criminal charge had been struck out, noting that the
consent judgement is final.
The judgment was in a suit between Don-Davis Archibong,

welfare of the plaintiff, who is a minor.”
On his part, Counsel to the defendants and Senior Advocate
of Nigeria, Taiwo Kupolati said “parties have settled amicably and have signed
the terms of settlement dated 21st March, 2022.”
He thanked Justice Ntong for his disposition in ensuring the
welfare of the child involved in the matter.

was the Principal of Deeper Life High School, Uyo, thanked “God for using
Justice Ntong to bring the case to a joyful end.”
