Secondary school pupil dies after drinking pack of juice laced with
Sniper in Lagos
A student of
the Cedar College, Baruwa, in the Ipaja area of Lagos State, Favour
Ekemedili, has died after she drank a pack of juice laced
with Sniper on Thursday, May 30th during school hours.
According to
reports, the deceased, Favour Ekemedili, left her home on the said day and was
in class receiving the day's teaching with her classmates when she got up,
went to her bag, brought out the pack of juice and started drinking it.
Shortly after she drank some of it, she threw the juice pack away and went to
her seat. Some minutes later, Favour began complaining of having stomach pains.
Her classmates rushed her to the school's sick bay. Her classmates informed the
nurse on duty that Favour began complaining of stomach ache after she drank the
pack of juice she brought to school.
They searched for
the juice pack she threw away and brought it with the remaining content to
the nurse. Upon examination, the nurse found out it was smelling of the
popular insecticide, Sniper. Immediately she raised alarm and Favour was rushed
to the General hospital in the area.
Favour was later
referred to the Lagos state University Teaching Hospital where she died on the
same day at about 6pm.
The mother of the
deceased, Nkem Ekemedili, said she has handed over the case to God as there is
nothing that can be done if she fights with the school. She blamed the school
for not monitoring her daughter who was in their care at the time of the
unfortunate incident.
Confirming the
incident, the Lagos state police command spokesperson, Bala Elkana, in a
statement released yesterday Sunday June 2nd, said the homicide department of
the school is currently investigating the matter.
“On Thursday, May
30, 2019, around 5.40pm, the Ipaja Police Station received a complaint from the
Cedar College, Baruwa, that on the same date around 9am, one Favour Ekemedili,
an SS1 pupil complained of severe stomach ache and was rushed to the school’s
sickbay. The school’s sickbay immediately moved her to the general hospital,
which in turn referred her to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital,
where she was admitted for medical attention.
“Her parents were
contacted by the school authority. She died around 6pm while receiving
treatment. Her friends, who witnessed the incident, stated that the stomach
ache started after the girl took a beverage. On a close check of the bottle, it
was discovered that it contained an insecticide known as Sniper and not the
beverage. The chemical substance was taken for laboratory testing. Homicide
detectives from the SCIID are investigating the case.” the statement read
Michael Arowosaiye: RCCG
finally speaks on death of singer who allegedly committed suicide
The Redeemed
Christian Church of God (RCCG) on Friday reacted to reports of the death of one
Mr. Michael Arowosaiye, said to have committed suicide in Abuja on Tuesday, May
14, 2019.
The church’s
position was contained in a statement released by Pastor Olaitan
Olubiyi, Head Media & Public Relations.
It said while the
RCCG leadership sympathises with the family of the deceased, it had become
necessary to clarify information in the public.
It read: “The said
Mr. Michael Arowosaiye was not a minister in the RCCG. He was a singer and a
keyboardist in one of our Youth Parishes in Abuja until 2017 when he left for
another ministry in 2017.
“His movement to
another ministry notwithstanding, Michael, through his elder brother who is
presently one of the coordinators of the RCCG Youth Choir, continued to get
invitation to minister in RCCG programmes.
“He had
accommodation problem in 2018 and though he was no longer in the RCCG, a family
in the Mission gave him the Boy’s Quarters of their house in Sunnyvale Estate
in Lokogoma which was where he lived till the unfortunate suicide incident.
“It is therefore
untrue to refer to him as a Minister in the RCCG. It is also misleading and
absolutely incorrect to create the impression that RCCG does not care for its
Members and Ministers.
“The RCCG is in the
forefront among organizations with robust welfare package in Nigeria.:
