Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The family of Bright Onyekwuluje, a boarding student who allegedly died from negligence on the part of his school\u2019s management, has asked the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba to investigate the death of their son.<\/p>\n

A petition to the Inspector General of Police, through the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 13 Ukpo, which was written by the family\u2019s lawyer, Barr OC Onwugbufor, and sighted by journalists, urged the IGP to investigate the circumstances that led to the death of the 11-year-old child.<\/p>\n

The petition read: \u201cIt is our instruction that Bright Onyekwuluje was sick, but the school management failed to inform his parents or send him to hospital for proper treatment.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur client got the information that his son was sick through another student that called his mother to inform him to ask our client to come and pick up Bright, that he was sick. Our client called the school management but was told not to bother, that the school was taking good care of the boy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe same student, next day called our client again to say that the son may die if they failed to come as the school management was not ready to take care of their son.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen our colleague reached the school, he saw that the health of his son had degenerated to the extent that his son could not talk, walk or eat food. Our client carried his son to a hospital in Port Harcourt where he resides. Bright Onyekwuluje did not recover from the illness as he died on 17th December 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe humbly appeal to you to use your good office to investigate the immediate and remote cause of the death of our client\u2019s son and bring to justice the persons in the school who contributed to the death of the boy through their actions, inactions, negligence, carelessness, recklessness and total disregard for the life and safety of children placed under their care.<\/p>\n
