Tragic- 3-yr-Old Boy Dies After Consuming Caustic Soda

       The incident occurred in November 2015, and Darasimi Ogunwunmi's health deteriorated rapidly since then. Ogunwunmi was unable to feed properly as he was unable to swallow liquid substances during the period of his ill-health.

       A three-year-old kindergarten pupil  died from complications resulting from consumption of caustic soda at his school, Fahsal Children’s School, Ilupeju Estate, Idiroko, Ogun State.
 The mother, Toyin said, “My son would have died long ago if not because of the money that kind Nigerians raised for his treatment. The money financed his surgeries and rehabilitation since that time." If I knew he had no chance of survival, I would have prayed that God should give him rest long ago because my son suffered for every day he lived after that incident."
 Every day, I saw him lying in the hospital bed or sitting at home struggling to drink ordinary water with pain, I cried bitterly.”
       Modupe Mujota, the Ogun State Commissioner of Police revealed that though an investigation was launched into the matter, there was however no evidence sufficient to charge the school management.There was a full investigation. But because there was no hard evidence, it became difficult to take the issue up legally."
      We combed the premises of the school and nothing was found, probably because time had elapsed and the school might have cleaned up.
