Deborah Okezie, the mother of the Deeper Life School student, allegedly sexually molested by senior students and tortured by teachers, has alleged threats to her life by an ex-presidential spokesperson, Reno Omokri.
In a new video, she also slammed those she described as Deeper Life fanatics who have been threatening her since she went public with the abuses her son suffered.
The woman, who stated that she won’t suffer in silence because the case is in court, alleged that while some wish death on her son, Reno Omokri asked her to apologize on the pages of newspapers for calling out the Deeper Life Church.
She also called on authorities to caution Deeper Life members and Reno Omokri.
“I will not keep quiet and die in silence; the threat is too much,” Deborah Okezie said in the video
“Somebody sent me a message that reads, ‘how was the burial of your son?
“You are fighting a church; you will bury your child’.
“Reno Omokri called me that I should go and apologize on a national newspaper and apologize on TV, that if I do not, anything I see, I should take. To me, that is a threat.
“I wanted to see the chief magistrate yesterday but I could not; that was why I came here. He should leave me alone. I don’t have what he has.
“Deeper Life members are threatening me. Someone said I would die before 20th. I am still alive,” she declared in the live Facebook video.
Five members of the school’s staff and two students have been charged to court for the alleged abuse which was a national news topic several weeks ago. When the news of this story broke, the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel had ordered an investigation which appeared to be botched by interest groups in the Deeper Life Church.
