Tuesday, October 15, 2024 -A JSS 3 student of St. Louis Girls’ Grammar School, Akure, Ondo State, Boluwatife Oladipo, who slumped and died during school hours had reportedly predicted her own death.
According to Ondo State owned
newspaper, the 12-year-old student had reportedly fainted last Tuesday shortly
after saying she wanted to die.
Eyewitness accounts stated that the
young girl was playing with her classmates at school when she began making
unusual remarks, saying she felt as though she was about to die.
It was further gathered that the
deceased told her friends she had urged her mother to have more children, but
her plea had been ignored.
Moments later, the girl reportedly
collapsed and was first rushed to the school clinic, where first aid treatment
was administered before she was later taken to the University Medical Teaching
Hospital (UNIMETH) in Akure, where she was confirmed dead on arrival.
A teacher at the school told the
publication that it was ‘obvious the deceased girl knew she would die,’ based
on her actions prior to the incident.
“Last Tuesday, classes were ongoing in the
school when we were alerted that a JSS 3 student had fainted. We quickly rushed
to attend to her,” the teacher said.
“We learned that the girl was playing
with her friends outside the classroom. When the bell rang for the next class,
which was Mathematics, they all ran inside
“After they got into the classroom
and the Mathematics teacher arrived, she put her head on the desk.
“Her concerned classmates went to her
and tapped her, telling her that the teacher was already in the
classroom."
It was gathered that upon getting to her, she
raised her head and told her friends she wanted to die.
The students alerted the teacher, who
rushed to her seat.
According to the source, by the time
the teacher reached her, she reiterated, “I want to die.”
“The teacher had to call on other
teachers, and the girl was rushed to the school clinic. She was said to have
kept saying she wanted to die.
“Thereafter, she was rushed to
UNIMEDTH. Upon arrival at the state hospital, the doctor on duty who attended
to her observed her and noted that she was ‘paper white’ (she had a shortage of
blood).
“Immediately, she was placed on a
blood transfusion. During the process, she tragically passed away.”
The source told the publication that
while some teachers from the school visited the girl’s home, her mother made
some revelations.
"The mother of the girl told
them that it took her years to give birth to her, and she was the first
child," a teacher said.
The girl had reportedly been
pressuring her mother to have another child.
“The mother said that on the fateful
morning, she told her father that she would be travelling abroad for her Senior
Secondary School education. She then hugged her dad and waved goodbye to her
mother,"
It was also reported that the mother
disclosed that in the early hours of the day, she saw a figure resembling a
ghost walk past in the house.
She informed her husband, and they prayed together over.
