The CP called on school authorities to take the welfare and discipline of their students seriously, noting that it was only expedient for matters of this nature to be quickly investigated and the courts allowed to decide on the merits.

However, it was gathered that the arraignment of the 5 adults suspects before the Uyo Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday January 6, was stalled due to the absence of the magistrate.

Meanwhile, a 71-year-old medical doctor has been arrested for sneaking into a hospital to ‘illegally’ collect blood sample of Don Davis under the pretense that he came to help a colleague.
