By Iyojo Ameh

BrickHall Schools, situated in the Cadastral Zone B11, Kaura, Abuja, witnessed a devastating incident on Wednesday, as a four-year-old pupil, Miguel Ovoke, tragically lost his life during the school’s feeding hours.

According to reports, Miguel was rushed to Excel Specialist Hospital, Abuja, by school staff around 11 am after being found unconscious.

The hospital’s subsequent examination revealed a grim reality: Miguel had aspirated on meat while feeding at school.

Dr. Akinwande Ajayi, representing the medical director, documented Miguel’s dire condition in the issued death certificate.

The report by the medical team found that the boy’s pupils were fixed and dilated, with a nonreactive response to light.

His peripheral pulses were said to be “impalpable, blood pressure was unrecordable, and there was no cardiopulmonary activity or respiratory excursions, silent chest.”

The report indicated that all efforts of the medical team to resuscitate him failed.

The report concluded that he was “Brought in Dead.”

Suspecting foul play, the parents of the decease have contacted a lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, to handle the case on their behalf.

Adeyanju confirmed the development to journalists in Abuja

Attempts to get the reaction of the school authorities as of the time of filing this report have not yielded any fruit.

The school has yet to respond to an email sent to its known email address.
