Deeper Life School: Court commences trial behind closed-door The alleged sexual abuse of an 11-year-old boy in a school dorm has attracted huge public interest. The trial of the Deeper Life High School sexual abuse case commenced on Wednesday in Uyo, with the magistrate court holding its proceedings behind closed-door. Two students of the school, both of them 13 years old, accused of sexually molesting a fellow student, an 11-year-old boy, are being prosecuted by the police. Five officials of the school, including a suspended principal, are also on trial. An official, said to be the court registrar, asked people, including lawyers, who were not parties in the case, to leave the courtroom before the proceedings began.
