The distraught mum said the school claims her 12-year-old suffered a cardiac arrest and slumped.

Mrs Adeniran said her daughter was not sick and never had any pre-existing heart condition and wonders why she would suffer a cardiac arrest.

In her words:

"How can a 12-year-old have cardiac arrest? No pre-existing medical or heart condition. Even if they claim it was cardiac arrest, how can one single arrest kill a healthy teenager?"

She is demanding the school comes clean to her with regards to what really happened to her child so she can bury her child in peace.
