“On arrival of my wife at the health center where they took my daughter. my daughter was lying dead With her lips black and her tongue black.
“My wife called me urgently, I left my office to the place and found my 12year old daughter lying dead on the ground. I asked question for what happened to my daughter and the school authority could not get me any information as to what happened to my child in their care.
“I gave Chrisland school a healthy vibrant young girl what Chrisland return to me is a dead child. My entire family is in deep sorrow but the school Authority claimed they know nothing about my daughter death and all they know is that my daughter slumped and died.
“For the general information of the public, Chrisland school held such a magnificent event without a simple fully equiped Ambulance, no paramedics, medical personnel or no safety corps, no paramedic except a school quack nurse who later confess to me that the child died even at stadium but she can not pronounce her dead because she is not a Doctor.
“My question is what happen to my daughter at Agege stadium. As a father I demand answer from Chrisland international high school. I am in deep pain and sorrow right now. If you are a father you will understand my pain. My daughter is highly loved by us. We cherished her existence and we can never allow and institution to gloss over the death of our daughter.
“Since we started asking this question, the school has been asking us to back down from autopsy and I know they know their way into the system.
“I am calling on the pathology department of @lasuth to please be honest with their result.
“Lagos state government, Nigeria Goverment, please intervene”.
