12-yr-old student not beaten to death ― Dowen College Management.

Following the controversial circumstance
that led to the death of a 12-yr-old student
of Dowen College, the management of the
school has refuted claims that the deceased
was beaten to death.

In a statement made available to Vanguard,
Dowen College narrated that he was injured
while playing football on 21st November
2021 and was immediately administered
first aid and was released to his hostel room
after he expressed relief.

“He was in class on Monday 22nd day of
November 2021, but during school hours
one of his friends accompanied him to the
Sick Bay where he complained of some pain
in his hip.

The doctor examined him and
prescribed Ibuprofen for the pain, while the
nurse massaged his leg, after which he felt a
bit better.

“In accordance with school policy, the
resident doctor called his mother reporting
the incident and requesting that she come
for him so that he could get further medical
attention.

The mother however said she was
not in Lagos, spoke and prayed with him on
the phone and promised to send the
guardian to pick him up immediately for
further medical attention.

“When the guardian failed to show up, the
next day on the 23rd of November 2021, the
doctor called the mother again and this
time, she assured that his guardian would
pick him from school.

“His guardian showed up and took him for
X-ray after which the guardian informed the
school management that the results of the
investigation revealed that no part of his
body was broken or injured.

The resident
doctor also called the mother later in the
week to check up on his progress but she
informed the doctor that he was sleeping at
the time,” the management said.

The management further explained that the
Principal also spoke with the mother on the
phone to enquire about his progress and
“she reported that he was having a
massage and gave the phone to him to
speak with the Principal.

“As a result, it came as no small shock to us
to read wild social media tales that he was
beaten by some students and that he
specifically mentioned some names.

We immediately commenced investigations and
invited the students allegedly mentioned for
interview.

His guardian was also present
during the interviews, which revealed that
nothing of such happened.

“The whole incident was strange and
unbelievable because: The school has
effective anti-bullying policies and
consequences are well spelt out to all the
students.

“The preliminary investigation showed that
there was no fighting, bullying or any form
of attack on the boy.

“He made no such reports, neither to his
sister who is also a student or any other
students, prefects, house parents, medical
staff or any of the management staff,” the
management said.lalasticlala mynd44.
