Recall that the mother of the 11-year-old student, Deborah Okezie, had in a Facebook video which 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 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.
