Living
Faith Bible Church (aka Winners Chapel), proprietor of Kingdom Heritage
Model School in Benin City, Edo State, has absolved itself of
complicity in the death of one of its pupils, Miss Imiefan Omokaro, aged
three, who was found dead in one of the school toilets in November,
last year.
Counsel
to the Church, Miss Omoikhekpen Oguns, in a statement absolving the
school of complicity in the pupil’s death in Benin, yesterday, insisted
that no medical report or any other proof had been adduced to prove the
school’s culpability in the death of the child.
This
is contrary to the position of the parents of the child, Mr. and Mrs.
Jolly Omokaro, who attributed the death of their child to negligence on
the part of the school’s management.
It
will be recalled that Imienfan’s parents, in a petition to Bishop David
Oyedepo, General Overseer of the church, said that she was killed in
one of the school toilets and demanded N2 billion as damages for what
they called her callous and senseless killing on November 1, 2012.
The
petition was written through their counsel, Mr Peter Uwadiae, who
insisted that the administrators of the school had ignored all
entreaties for the peaceful resolution of the gruesome murder of their
child, having failed to attend all meetings called to resolve the
impasse.
