Prince Odi Okojie, the member representing Esan North East/South East Federal Constituency election in Edo State, has called for a thorough investigation into the death of four year old Miguel Ovoke, a pupil of Brickhall Schools in Abuja who died mysteriously.
Speaking on Tuesday morning, Mr Okojie who is the husband of Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson stated that schools should be sanctuaries of safety for children and condemned the incident.
“The passing of Miguel Ovoke, a pupil at BrickHall Schools, Abuja, is a tragic event that deeply saddens us all. Our schools must be sanctuaries of safety for our children, where they can learn and thrive without fear.
“The circumstances surrounding Miguel’s passing are deeply troubling and require a thorough investigation to determine accountability and prevent such incidents from recurring. We condemn this incident in the strongest terms.
“Our hearts go out to Miguel’s family during this difficult time. Losing a loved one is never easy, and we extend our sincerest condolences to them. May they find strength and comfort in the love and support of those around them. Our thoughts are with them as they navigate through this unimaginable loss.”
On Monday, the mother of Miguel Ovoke and others protested at the BrickHall School located in the Cadastral Zone B11, Kaura, in Abuja, alleging a cover up.
