The arraignment follows a petition by the mother of the student, Deborah Okezie, against the Deeper Life High School principal, Ndidi Solomon and three others.
In her petition, the victim’s mother had alleged that her son, a JSS 1 student of the school, was sexually molested, inhumanly treated, and starved in the school.
The school authorities had also vowed to ensure justice is done on the matter.
