The General Overseer of Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo has been asked to pay N2 billion within 14 days as general damages or face legal action, for the death of three-year-old Imienfan Omokaro who got drowned at Kingdom Heritage Model School operated by Winners Chapel in Benin.
A letter written by Omokaro’s Counsel, Prince Peter E. Uwadiae-Igbinigie and, dated November 28, 2012 and made available to journalists in Benin, explained that the amount was “for the callous and senseless killing of our client’s daughter, Miss Imienfan Omokaro.”
Besides, Mr. Omokaro’s lawyers want Kingdom Heritage Model School to tender unreserved apology in three national newspapers, warning that if the demands were not met within 14 days, “we have the irrevocable instructions of our client to commence legal action against the school (Kingdom Heritage Model School) and Church (Winners Chapel) without any further correspondence from this Chambers.”
Imienfan Omokaro, a KG I pupil of Kingdom Heritage Model School, was said to have drowned in a drum of water in a toilet in the school on November 1, 2012.
Also, teachers of the school allegedly did not inform her mother when she came to pick her from school on that fateful day until late in the evening.
The school authorities and Winners Chapel had reportedly kept the girl for more than an hour, praying for her before finally taking her to Irowa Hospital in Benin, where she was confirmed dead.
The girl had died before being brought to hospital, doctors said.
This is outrageous ,my condolence firstly to the girls family,if we are charging the school for negligence or whatnot, let’s face the sch, why the pastor, the sch and the church are 2 diff entities , are we saying that the death of the little girl means nothing to us? All past 1 month we have been condeming the pastors for buying jets and all that,now we as good citizens are bout doing the same.this is nothing but greed. I believe justice must be serve , face the sch and even if u want 20b its ok, in as much as it fits the offence, but pls leave the pastor out. Mind u am not a fan of Oyedepo or his member but then let’s face facts. Except if the lawyer and the parents have decided to sell the corps of their kid, mind U if oyedepo pays that money , he will have to account for where he came about it too because , he’s not suppose to have that kind of money as a pastor, even the Pope can’t pay it. Its outrageous. There are situations that u Pray on and also there are situation u rush to the hopital right away and start praying on when the docs are working on.On the issue of not telling the parentes, I will say its african like,its just share ignorance,so charge the sch for negligence , ignorance whatever , but don’t milk on the childs death.
