Seunfunmi Oseni, 4, and Amira Otegbola, 6, both pupils of New Vine
International School, Mushin, Lagos have been hospitalized after they
were allegedly flung out of their school bus by their proprietor, Ekezie
Augustine pictured right, at Costain Roundabout in Lagos, on their way
from an excursion to the National Theatre, Iganmu.
According to
Vanguard,
Ezekiel was immediately arrested by policemen who witnessed the
incident and handed him over to the Divisional Traffic Office, Iponri,
by operatives of the Rapid Response Squad, RRS, of Lagos State Police
Command for prosecution while the pupils were rushed to the Brickfield
Medical Centre, at Ademuyiwa Road, Ebute Metta, where they were referred
to Foremost Radiology, Ogunlana Drive, Surulere, for brain scan before
further treatment.
An official at the hospital who commented on the state of the injured pupils said
The boy, Seunfunmi, sustained a lot of bruises on his head and leg. He
has not walked since he was brought here. We feared he has injured his
legs too. He is always folding it and he preferred to be carried.
Further investigations revealed that the school was not registered with
the Lagos state Ministry of Education. However, the Principal of the
school argued that certification of the school was being processed. He
added that the children were over-excited and uncontrollable before the
incident happened.
About three teachers were reportedly with the children in the bus on the day of the incident.
