A devastating Nigerian mother has cried out for justice after her 2-year-old daughter, Pinky Ella, returned home dead from Smiley School, Sangotedo, Lagos.
The distraught woman took to her X handle @AbiaPrincess_X as she shared photos of her late daughter and the school, detailing how she lost her child due to the school’s negligence.
According to her, the little girl was hale and hearty when she went to school on Wednesday, January 15. Tragically, she never made it back home alive.
She sought justice from the Lagos State Government to investigate her daughter’s death and close down the school with immediate effect. She revealed that the school lied to the other parents that the school closed down because of maintenance.
She wrote, “Dear Lagos state Government. Our daughter of 2years old went to school yesterday and did not return alive 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. Now they are lying to other parents that school is closed because of maintenance instead of telling the truth. If nothing is done to close down that school other parents may cry for their own kids attending the school.”
“The pool has barricades how can a child of 2yrs climb? Please help us get Justice for our baby she just celebrated her 2yr birthday November last year,left home well for school on 15/1/2024 and never came back alive😭😭😭. How do you have a pool in school premises without proper monitoring?😭 They lied she drowned in the pool but we have been able to find out it’s Electrocution, and they dropped her in the pool to look as if it was drowning.”
Smiley School international Sangotedo Lagos island Please bring her back 😭😭😭we can’t bear this alone. Please if you have your child in that school be aware they lied that they are closed due to maintenance 😭. I lost my pinky Ella😭.”
