The parents of the 11-year-old victim of alleged sexual molestation in Uyo campus of the Deeper Life high School in Idoro, Akwa Ibom State, Don Davies, have demanded N100m compensation for the torture their son was allegedly subjected to in the school.
Mr and Mrs Archibong, the parents made the demand in a letter they addressed to the principal of the school titled ‘Gross child abuse, palpable molestation, serial bullying, criminal starvation, malicious oppression, and dubious maltreatment of Master Don-Davies Archibong (11 years old) by the Principal and Boarding Master, of Deeper Life Secondary School, Uyo.’
According to the letter, it was learnt that the school was given 21 days to pay the N100m compensation.
It read in part, “We are solicitors to Mr. and Mrs, Iniobong Archibong, resident in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State and herein after referred to as our client. We have the firm explicit and unequivocal instructions to write to you on the above subject matter.
“It is indeed provocatively heartbroken, morally suicidal and religiously hypocritical that our client’s 11-year-old son was torrentially bombarded with physical and inhuman torture of debilitating dimension with resultant castration of his human person, dignity and childhood innocence.
“We respectfully demand the payment of N100,000,000 within 21 days of the receipt of this letter as compensation to assuage the dehumanising, horrendous torture and indignity our client’s son was subjected to and for his medical checkup and medication.
“We demand that Deeper Life High School, Idoro, Uyo, publish an unreserved apology to our clients in two national Newspapers;PUNCH, THISDAY, and any other two local newspapers circulated within Akwa Ibom State and its environs.”
The letter was sent through their solicitors, Eagle-Eyes Network Chambers, and signed by David Okokon, dated December 22, 2020.
