Nihal, a Junior Secondary School student at St. Louis Secondary School, allegedly arrived late for prayers and was punished. According to some Social media accounts claim she informed those punishing her that she suffered from asthma and a heart condition. It was further alleged that she was ordered to continue the punishment, remained kneeling for an extended period, collapsed, and later d!ed.
May her gentle soul rest in peace!
The death of young Nihal Usaman Shamaki at St. Louis Secondary School, Kano, is deeply disturbing and raises serious questions that must not be ignored.
According to the account given by her family, the school claimed that Nihal was punished for allegedly being late to prayer and was made to kneel down. It is further alleged that she was left unattended for hours before she was eventually found dead. Even more troubling are reports that family members who rushed to the school after receiving the devastating news were denied access to where their daughter was.
We are calling on the Kano State Government His Excellency Abba Kabir Yusuf @Kyusufabba, relevant education authorities, and all security agencies to immediately launch a thorough, transparent, and independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding Nihal's death.
Her family deserves answers. The public deserves the truth. Most importantly, Nihal deserves justice.
Until a full investigation is conducted and all the facts are established, we believe it is necessary for the school to be temporarily closed to ensure that evidence is preserved and that there is no interference with the investigative process.
No parent should send a child to school and receive news of their death under unclear circumstances. We stand with Nihal's family in their quest for justice and accountability..
