Deborah Okezie, mother of Don Davis, a student of Deeper Life highschool , Uyo, Akwa Ibom State has talked about being intimidated after she was summoned by the Commissioner for Education, Mrs Enobong Mbobo for further investigation into the alleged molestation of her ward.
But the government has rebutted the allegation, saying that there was no iota of truth in it.
In a video posted on her Twitter handle, the embattled woman alleged that the Commissioner attacked her as soon as she walked into her office on invitation for further probe into the case, adding that the Commissioner accused her of trying to smear her office.
“Let the reality stand. I promised Nigerians that i will be able to keep them updated as reference to Don Davis case. You called me to bring my phone for investigation and as soon as I walked in, you started attacking me, that why did i’m going on live broadcast? I asked you an issue . Why did you bring me to your office to be attacked? Why retrieve my phone? What are we hiding? Which other evidence does one need?”
Responding, Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Comrade Iniobong Ememobong dismissed the allegations of attack and intimidation, saying that the government wouldn’t join issues together with her on the matter.
He said, “No such thing happened. The Commissioner for Education couldn’t have intimidated her. It’s not in her character to try such thing. We refuse to hitch issue with the lady . I even have spoken with the Commissioner for Education who told me that no such thing happened.”
On whether the investigation are going to be thorough, transparent and dispassionately done, Ememobong gave the reassurance that the report wouldn’t be skewed because it would be a real reflection of the matter.
He said, “The investigation borders on things that are partly civil and criminal offences. So, the government will undertake its part which is that the civil offence, while the Police which i’m sure are already aware will handle the criminal part. there’s nothing to cover . there’s no interest to guard . The report are going to be reflective of things .”
