Deeper Life High School, on Tuesday, said there was no attempt to cover up the case of an 11-year-old schoolboy, who was allegedly molested at its campus in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
#JusticeForDonDavis has since been trending on social media with many Nigerians calling for justice to be served on the matter.
A parent at the school, Mrs Deborah Okezie, had said some senior pupils molested her son, Don Davis, by pushing their hands and legs into his anus and threatened to kill him if he reported to anyone.
But speaking in a video statement released on Tuesday evening, the Education Secretary of the school, Mrs Thelma Malaka, said an investigation was ongoing into the matter and justice would be served when all findings have been finalised.
