A junior secondary school 1 student Emmanuel Chukwuebuka Nnanna, of Dennis Memorial Grammar School in Onitsha, Anambra state has reportedly died after succumbing to a head injury inflicted by an “envious” schoolmate.
The young boy according to Facebook user Mizta Nnamdi who shared the story died last week Tuesday after his teachers failed to be proactive in saving his life following the wicked action of another student who targeted the late Nnanna from a dormitory window; dropping a large stone from the height on the victim’s head.
Mizta Nnamdi who appears to be a close relative of the victim narrated the events that led to the victim’s death, saying he could have survived if the teachers had promptly called to inform his parents the moment the incident occurred.
A part of the narration said the stone that was used to commit the crime was used in the dormitory normally to hold the door in place and one question that begs for answers is why would the school authority or housemaster consider that okay or not foresee that it could become a weapon in the hands of the students unsupervised, like it happened in the case of Emmanuel?
Nnamdi found the school blameworthy of the death of the young man because according to him, they failed to do what was right and were completely careless.
Upon realising the extent of danger that the deceased was in, they took him to the school clinic which lacked the facilities to take up his treatment. Many more dilly-dallying took place including traveling many kilometres for a ‘Anglican’ hospital while keeping his parents in the dark, even though a private hospital was a stone throw from the school and scene of the accident, according to Nnamdi’s account.
Poor Nnanna eventually bled to death owing to the actions of the ‘envious’ student and the carelessness of the school teachers according to Nnamdi.

“HE DIED BECAUSE OF THE STUDENTS ENVY AND THE TEACHER’S CARELESSNESS.
THIS is Emmanuel Chukwuebuka Nnanna , a Jss 1 student at Dennis Memorial Grammar School Onitsha, A native of Oburo Ogwa in mbaitoli LGA, Imo state.
He died on Tuesday 12th February 2019 by a large stone thrown to crush his head from the school dormitory window by his fellow envious student. This happened after school hours, the victim was said to finished eating in the school cafeteria, fetched water with his gallon kept the water in his corner and came outside to play football.
He met two students playing football, asked if he can join them and the two boys playing the football told him to wait for they are playing turn by turn . While waiting and watching them a mischievous student carried a large stone they used to hold the dormitory door, targeted the victim from upstairs and hit the large stone on his head.
The victim fell down immediately and become unconscious. The two boys playing the football carried him to the school clinic, there was no equipment to handle his case there so one of the clinic attendance carried him out the school gate and started looking for keke, he got one took him to general hospital Onitsha where no treatment was given to him.
They latter took him to iyi enu hospital when he has already bled to death. While all these was going on, they did not contact his father, Kanayo hospital and other private hospitals are very close to DMGS, instead of them to take him there as his case is emergency, they rushed him to general and then far away iyi enu because it’s Anglican hospital.
Just like that an innocent boy that lost his mother when he was only three years, a super intelligent boy with multiple talent died because of his fellow students envy and school management carelessness.
