Michael Paul Ogbe, a 16-year-old SS3 student of ASACS International
Staff College, Bwari, Abuja, has been reported dead, caused serious head
injuries he sustained after a high jump during the school’s
inter-house sports on March 1, 2017.
His shocked mother, Marian Nnanna Ogbe, has called for a probe of the
incident and justice over the untimely death of her only son, who lost
his father when he was 4. The late Michael was the best science student
of the school.
Sources claimed that Michael would have survived if he was rushed
immediately to the hospital for treatment. Findings also revealed that
the school
lacked high jump facilities as it was a small mattress that was placed on the ground for the students to land on.
When Authorityngr newspaper called the proprietor, Chief A.B. Ekwere,
who also owns Dorben Polytechnic in Bwari, he declined to speak. All the
subsequent calls were not picked.
Mrs Ogbe, who said she single-handedly brought up Michael, lamented
that she was not immediately informed when the incident occurred. She
got to the hospital to meet her son already packaged for the mortuary.
She lamented that if only she was called immediately, she would have
taken him to a private specialist hospital for adequate medical
attention.
Mrs. Ogbe recalled that the deceased had a premonition of his death as
he was reluctant to return to school after the mid-term break.
The school is so careless, they don’t take care of the students, I want
justice done. I gave you a live child and you are giving me back a dead
one. It wouldn’t have taken me 40 minutes to get to the school,” she
lamented.
