Kingdom Heritage Model School
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.
Sources said a teacher who found the little girl at the toilet raised alarm and she was taken to the Winners Chapel Church, owners of the school, where pastors battled to revive the girl.
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.”
“I can’t bring a baby to school and they expect me to collect a lifeless baby. It is their responsibility to tell me what happened to my daughter, “the distraught father told our correspondent.
