2-year-old girl injured in school, expelled because her dad reported to the police

According to rights activist, Emeka Ugwuonye, who got the complaint, Miss Doxa Etim-Esin is a KG 2 student of Remmok School, located at 57, Sarah Faboyede Street, Bucknor Estate, Transformer Bus Stop, Oke-Afa, Isolo, Lagos.
Her mom was quoted as saying: "Apart from being in the school within school hours, we also paid for after school care to be provided for her until we pick her up later in the evening.
On Tuesday, October 25, 2016, I got to the school premises at about 7.30pm and upon checking her body, I noticed her right eye was bleeding. I was alarmed! I beckoned on the small boy she was left with and all he could say was...."I dont know what happened. It's not our fault."
At this point, I was left with no other option but to raise an alarm. The proprietress' daughter came out and maintained that whatever happened to my daughter was not their fault. At this point, I was so traumatised to keep calm.
I kept demanding for explanations but got none. The proprietress' husband came out at that point to say I had no right shouting in his premises and then ordered me out of his residence.
On of the daughters also flung my child's school bags at me insisting the accident was not their fault. I reported the issue to the nearest police station and the next day, the school management was invited.
The DPO charged the teacher and she was detained. We made it plain that our displeasure was basically the fact that a 30-month-old child had an accident where adults were around and was left without even first aid treatment for the next 5hours.
To our greatest surprise, the school, on Monday, November 7, 2016, inserted a dismissal letter in her school bag which was to be effective the very next day."
