A 4-year-old pupil died on Wednesday, April 24, at BrickHall School located in the Cadastral Zone B11, Kaura in Abuja.
The deceased named Miguel Ovoke died in the morning, during the school’s feeding hours.
He was rushed to the hospital after showing signs of distress but it was too late as the hospital declared him dead on arrival.
A death certificate issued on April 24, 2024, by Excel Specialist Hospital, Abuja, stated that Ovoke was brought to the hospital by his teachers around 11 am in an unconscious state.

Upon examination, the medical team found that the boy’s pupils were fixed and dilated, with a nonreactive response to light.
