A three -year old girl identified as Imiefan Omokaro was on
Thursday afternoon found dead in the toilet of her school, known as Kingdom
Heritage Model School, along Sapele road in Benin City.
She reportedly fell into a bucket of half- filled water.
The source told our correspondent that the child was
confirmed dead two hours after she was taken to the hospital.
The Nation gathered that when the girl’s mother came to the
school to pick her daughter, the teacher said they were looking for the child.
The father of the girl, who gave his name as Omokaro Jolly,
said he dropped Imiefan at the school hale and healthy and was surprised that
the school authorities could not tell him what happened to his daughter.
“When I dropped my daughter in school, she said I should
come and pick her up so that I can buy her chocolate. But I can’t see my
daughter now.
“The hospital said my child was brought dead. Until now,
nobody has told me what happened to my baby.”
