On Thursday, January 16, 2025, a grieving mother took to her X handle, @AbiaPrincess_X, to share the heartbreaking news of her daughter’s sudden death. According to the bereaved woman, her daughter, a student at Smiley Kids Montessori in Sangotedo, Lagos State, left home healthy but tragically returned lifeless.
The distraught mother stated that the school claimed her two-year-old daughter drowned. However, she alleges that further findings revealed the child was electrocuted, and her body was placed in the pool to make it appear as a drowning incident.
She also shared a photo of the pool, which features a high barricade designed to prevent access, questioning how a toddler could have scaled it. The mother has called on the Lagos State Government to thoroughly investigate the matter.
When Vanguard visited Smiley Kids Montessori to get a response from the school authorities, they declined to address the media. However, it was observed that a meeting was held with other parents at the school. Additionally, there were no visible signs of any ongoing maintenance.
