“While Mrs Ndidi Solomon and four others were charged to the magistrates’ court, the two students were charged to the Juvenile Court.”

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

The police statement opposes the positions of the defence and prosecution lawyers who said the suspects could not be arraigned due to the absence of the magistrate at Uyo Magistrates’ Court.
