Recall, in May 2022, Chidera had dr@wned while participating in a swimming lesson organized by the school. According to earlier reports, Chidera was playing with his friends at the edge of the pool when he unfortunately fell in and dr@wned.
According to a statement issued by the state’s commissioner for education, Folasade Adefisayo, the school will be closed while an administrative investigation into its operations is conducted as it was yet to be fully registered.
He stated, ”The Lagos State Ministry of Education has shut the Redeemers Nursery and Primary School, Ogba. The school will remain closed, pending an administrative investigation of its operations and procedures as well as the conduct of its officials in line with schools’ safety standards and guidelines.
The investigation is sequel to the de@th of a five-year-old pupil, who is suspected to have dr@wned during a swimming lesson while in the custody of the school. The police are investigating the matter.
A preliminary probe by the Office of Education Quality Assurance of the Ministry has shown that the Redeemers Nursery and Primary School, Ogba, is yet to conclude its registration and is, therefore, not yet an approved school.
