JUST IN: Lagos Shuts Ojodu Grammar School Over Students’ Death

Lagos State Government has shut down Bab Fafunwa Millennium School, Ojodu, formerly Ojodu Grammar School, until January 2022.

Gatekeepers News reports that the state government tentatively shut the school, following the death of the students who were crushed by a trailer on Tuesday.

The incident sparked outrage among the students and inhabitants of the area.

On Wednesday morning, students of the school and parents trooped to the school to protest the death of the victims.

They lamented that school was not immediately shut down after the incident.

One of them said, “Why should the school reopen. The street is still smelling of the flesh of dead bodies. The exam should be postponed and students given automatic promotion is possible.”

While weeping, a mother lamented that “It is embarrassing that the school reopened today. How will the government do such? What do they want other mothers to be thinking of. My daughter is not in school and I have come to tell them that she must not fail. If they are heartless, I am not.”
