Update: Death of Master Chukwuebuka Nnanna. School Principal Reacts

 

Earlier today we reported how a JSS1 student of Dennis  Memorial Grammar School, in Onitsha, Anambra State, Chukwuebuka Nnanna, lost his life after a fellow student of the same school threw a heavy stone on his head from the school’s dormitory window.

 

However, the principal of the school, Mr. Anieto Chigozie (Rev Canon), has released a statement about the incident.

 

In his statement which he released earlier today,  Mr. Anieto, said it is hard to believe that someone could be envious of a JSS1 student who has undergone just one term in the school, so the boy slumped on his own(According to the boys that were around when the incident occured).

He also said that the appropriate school authority is still investigating the matter, and yet to reach a conclusion on it because no one seems to know who threw the heavy rock.

 

Read The Principal’s full statement below:

 

Death of Master Chukwuebuka Nnanna
The incident took place on Tuesday 12th February 2019.
We had two events in school that day: Termly Clinical Evaluation and Provincial Quiz.
The students had eaten and it was time for sports in preparation for the Interhouse Sports.
Other students had gone out for sports and they were playing just in front of the Obijackson Hostel with a Mock Ball.
From the information we got from the boys the boy slumped and they took him to the Sick Bay. And the staff nurse couldn’t handle it and the boy was rushed to the General Hospital. He died. We called the father’s number severally and it was switched off. We had to send a staff who knows where his shop was. And she got another number from them there. He was contacted. And before he came, we took the child to Iyienu Hospital where he was confirmed dead.
We have given our report to the appropriate authorities in charge of education both in the Anambra State government and the Diocese. And we are in touch with family.
We are still seriously investigating the matter with the view of finding out who threw the stone. Nobody has owned up till now.
It’s quite unfortunate that this happened.
How could a fellow student be envious of a JSS1 students who has stayed just a term? Is it really possible?
What happened may be purely an accident. He was not stabbed. He was not flogged to death. He didn’t fall from a height.
However, please pray for the repose of the soul of the young Dengramite Chukwuebuka and the family will also be consoled.
keep praying for us. We trust that we will come out of this challenge.
Thanks and Lux Fiat
Anieto Chigozie (Rev Canon)
Principal / Manager
