Many people bid Reverend Sister Henrietta Alokha a befitting farewell on Thursday when she was buried in Lagos.
She was the amazing Principal of Bethlehem Girls College, who died while rescuing students after a gas explosion earlier this month in Abule Ado community of Lagos Stat.
The programme was held yesterday in Atani -Uromi, Edo state.
She had risen to the challenge of protecting the children – and all survived – but she died in the process.
Many, including President Muhammadu Buhari, have saluted her, praying for her soul to rest well.
“As remains of the Principal of Bethlehem High School, Abule-Ado, Lagos, Rev. Sis. Henrietta Alokha, is laid to rest, President Muhammadu Buhari joins staff members and students in mourning the huge loss to the school, and the country.
“The President believes Sis. Alokha’s choice to lay down her life for the students she loved deserves commendation, while taking into consideration her contributions to the educational development of the country through piety, diligence and charity,” Buhari had sid in a statement.
