The father of the deceased student, Amanor Okine, has accused the school of negligence leading to the death of his daughter.
According to him, he is considering a suit because prior to his daughter’s admission to the school, he provided her medical records which ruled her out of dust-related work.
This information was reportedly ignored by the authorities and as such Ruby was compelled to partake in chores done by students.
Ruby complained of breathlessness and chest pains during a routine inspection on Saturday, May 19, 2018, and was given first aid.
She was then rushed to the hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival.
