The Nigerian actress Ibironke Ojo-Anthony popularly known as Ronke Oshodi Oke has revealed that her daughter was reportedly poisoned in school.
She took to Instagram to say that: “roommates or friends deliberately” poured a cloth-bleaching substance into her daughter’s water bottle.
She said they took her daughter to three different hospitals for medical attention before she got better.
The 48 year old actress said the incident which occurred three weeks ago made her stay away from social media space.
“Good evening my people, let me tell you something. You will notice that you didn’t see me on Instagram for a while,” she said.
“My daughter is in the University now. What happened was that, about three weeks ago, they called me around 3:45 am that my daughter, Jummy drank hypo. I was like hypo how? How will my child drink hypo?
“I went to the school and when I got there, I went to the hospital. She was crying. She was not herself. What happened was that maybe her roommate or friends deliberately poured hypo into the water that she drinks. They want to kill her.
“I gave her a water bottle. I bought the water bottle because I was told by the hospital to regularly take water. She loved the water bottle which had a straw attached to it.
“She just took up the bottle (in school) around 3 am and drank the water. Not knowing that someone had poured hypo inside the water and covered it tightly.
“Do you know they actually want to kill her? So that you can know that something is happening in this life.
“I intentionally do not want to mention the name of the school because I don’t want to tarnish their image.
“We went to three hospitals before my daughter got better. We were saved at a general hospital. I have only received mercy to take care of my children because I am nothing.”
She sent message of caution to the school to make sure the incident does not repeat itself.
She called on parents to be conscious of the state of their children in school.
“I am warning the school for the first and last time. I know some people from the school would watch this video. If anything like this happens to my daughter again. I have just two,” she said.
“I will not take it lightly. So that they won’t say Ronke’s trouble is too much. That is why I decided to lay low.
“And I am saying this to all parents. The school that my daughter is not a public school. Private school does not mean a child would not be wayward. Look after your children. Warn them to always know what they are doing.”
