The National Pentecostal Mission has announced the tragic deaths of two nursery pupils at their pre-school in Freetown.
The incident, which occurred on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, has prompted an investigation by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Sierra Leone Police.
In a press release issued by the Office of the Bishop, the National Pentecostal Mission expressed “deep sorrow and a heavy heart” over the loss of the two children. The church stated that the incident has left their “entire Church family in complete shock and disbelief.”
The Mission assured the public that they are fully cooperating with the authorities to ensure a swift and just investigation. They urged members of the church and the wider community to remain calm, patient, and united in prayers.
“We also encourage all to refrain from speculation, avoid making comments on social media and allow the law enforcement agencies to do their work,” the press release stated.
The National Pentecostal Mission extended their deepest sympathies to the bereaved families, acknowledging the “unimaginable loss” and offering their thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
“In this time of mourning, we find strength in God’s Word and the power of collective prayer. Let us continue to uplift the grieving families in our prayers and seek divine comfort and justice,” the press release concluded.
The CID is currently conducting its investigation into the circumstances surrounding the deaths. The National Pentecostal Mission has committed to providing updates as they become available.
I blame the School !!!
Before the end of school hours , the School includes the class head teacher, Head mistress/ Master, and the Security guard have the primary duties to safe guide ,protect and control the movement of Nursery Infants pupils during the school hours.
The class teacher has a responsibility to check on the pupils attendance to call the register twice per day , morning hours and noon times before end of school.
That is the duties and responsibility of a serious and responsible class head.
And the parents too have a responsibility ,
to check on their ward regularly during and after school hours.
However, some parents are engaged most of the time, but that should not limit you not visiting your ward in school or make a call regularly to know whether your child is in attendance or Not
Always , you the parents /guardian should be in touch with your ward class teacher.
It is a collective responsibility of both
the school and the parents/ guardian to monitor and guide the movement of pupils.
I pray that God Almighty will grant the dead Janatul fidisu. Ameen
My condolences to the family
