Abuja; Family of 6 year old girl who die in school swimming ask for justice

An Abuja school is being blamed by a grieving family for the death of their daughter, who was just six years old.

According to her relatives, Modadeoluwa was participating in swimming lessons at Start-Rite School in Abuja on the day when an event resulted to her passing away on November 2.

The family claimed that the school attempted to manipulate the CCTV video that was recorded of the event; nonetheless, they were able to get proof despite this.

The swimming teacher is accused of throwing the dead student many times at the shallow part of the pool, which resulted in the victim hitting her head and sustaining internal bleeding, according to a family who criticized the school on Twitter.

They claimed that the school has not closed and that classes are continuing as if nothing had occurred.

They made a request to the police and prosecutors that an investigation be conducted at the school and also that justice be carried out.
